assemble_meta_info

FeatureSystem.assemble_meta_info(feat_id: int, known_meta_info: dict[int, tuple] = None)

If the user has entered custom meta info for a feature, then that is prioritised before everything else. Otherwise, we check for the possibility of this feature merely being a corner of other features, in that case the info_object becomes a four-tuple (specification1, info_object_1, specification2, info_object2), the implication being that our separation is the corner of those two features (represented by their info object). If everything else fails, we simply return the first meta_info saved for the feature.

Parameters

feat_idint

The id of the feature whose meta_info we are interested in.

known_meta_infodict

Already computed meta info. Providing this avoids computing the same stuff twice.

Returns

tuple (int, any)

Contains the specification in its first entry and the info object of the metadata in its second entry.
