Historical State Access
==
The 3rd parameter of state and policy update functions (labels as `sH` of type `List[List[dict]]`) provides access to
past Partial State Updates (PSU) given a negative offset number. `access_block` is used to access past PSUs
(`List[dict]`) from `sH`.
Example: `-2` denotes to second to last PSU
##### Exclusion List
Create a list of states to exclude from the reported PSU.
```python
exclusion_list = [
'nonexsistant', 'last_x', '2nd_to_last_x', '3rd_to_last_x', '4th_to_last_x'
]
```
##### Example Policy Updates
###### Last partial state update
```python
from cadCAD.configuration.utils import config_sim, access_block
def last_update(_g, substep, sH, s):
return {"last_x": access_block(
state_history=sH,
target_field="last_x", # Add a field to the exclusion list
psu_block_offset=-1,
exculsion_list=exclusion_list
)
}
```
* Note: Although `target_field` adding a field to the exclusion may seem redundant, it is useful in the case of
the exclusion list being empty while the `target_field` is assigned to a state or a policy key.
###### 2nd to last partial state update
```python
def second2last_update(_g, substep, sH, s):
return {"2nd_to_last_x": access_block(sH, "2nd_to_last_x", -2, exclusion_list)}
```
##### Define State Updates
###### 3rd to last partial state update
```python
def third_to_last_x(_g, substep, sH, s, _input):
return '3rd_to_last_x', access_block(sH, "3rd_to_last_x", -3, exclusion_list)
```
###### 4rd to last partial state update
```python
def fourth_to_last_x(_g, substep, sH, s, _input):
return '4th_to_last_x', access_block(sH, "4th_to_last_x", -4, exclusion_list)
```
###### Non-exsistant partial state update
* `psu_block_offset >= 0` doesn't exsist
```python
def nonexsistant(_g, substep, sH, s, _input):
return 'nonexsistant', access_block(sH, "nonexsistant", 0, exclusion_list)
```
