Causal structures and causal boundaries
We give an up-to-date perspective with a general overview of the theory of causal properties, the derived causal structures, their classification and applications, and the definition and construction of causal boundaries and of causal symmetries, mostly for Lorentzian manifolds but also in more abstract settings. PACS numbers: 04.20.Gz, 04.20.Cv, 02.40.Ky
متن کاملLearning Complex Causal Structures
Most current theories of human causal learning are essentially parameter estimators: they assume a fixed causal structure and estimate causal strengths within that structure. In these theories, absence of causation is represented as zero causal strength, rather than a distinct causal structure. In this paper, we first present the theoretical framework of Bayesian networks, which can represent b...
متن کاملExperimental Indistinguishability of Causal Structures
Using a variety of different results from the literature, I show how causal discovery with experiments is limited unless substantive assumptions about the underlying causal structure are made. These results undermine the view that experiments, such as randomized controlled trials, can independently provide a gold standard for causal discovery. Moreover, I present a concrete example in which cau...
متن کاملLocal Causal States and Discrete Coherent Structures
Coherent structures form spontaneously in nonlinear spatiotemporal systems and are found at all spatial scales in natural phenomena from laboratory hydrodynamic flows and chemical reactions to ocean, atmosphere, and planetary climate dynamics. Phenomenologically, they appear as key components that organize the macroscopic behaviors in such systems. Despite a century of effort, they have eluded ...
متن کاملDefaults and Normality in Causal Structures
A serious defect with the Halpern-Pearl (HP) definition of causality is repaired by combining a theory of causality with a theory of defaults. In addition, it is shown that (despite a claim to the contrary) a cause according to the HP condition need not be a single conjunct. A definition of causality motivated by Wright’s NESS test is shown to always hold for a single conjunct. Moreover, condit...
