Abstract: Account of a system may depend on available methods of gaining information. We discuss a simple discrete system whose description is affected by a specific model of measurement and transformations. It is shown that the limited means of investigating the system make the epistemic account of the model indistinguishable from a constrained version of a qubit corresponding to the convex hull of eigenstates of Pauli operators, Clifford transformations and Pauli observables.
