Mutual manipulability and causal inbetweenness
Carl Craver’s mutual manipulability criterion aims to pick out all and only those components of a mechanism that are constitutively relevant with respect to a given phenomenon. In devising his criterion, Craver has made heavy use of the notion of an ideal intervention, which is a tool for illuminating causal concepts in causal models. The problem is that typical mechanistic models contain non-c...
متن کاملConstitutive relevance, mutual manipulability, and fat-handedness
The first part of this paper argues that if Craver’s ([2007a], [2007b]) popular mutual manipulability account (MM) of mechanistic constitution is embedded within Woodward’s ([2003]) interventionist theory of causation—for which it is explicitly designed—it either undermines the mechanistic research paradigm by entailing that there do not exist relationships of constitutive relevance or it gives...
متن کاملDistributed Mutual Exclusion Based on Causal Ordering
Problem statement: Causality among events, more formally the causal ordering relation, is a powerful tool for analyzing and drawing inferences about distributed systems. The knowledge of the causal ordering relation between processes helps designers and the system itself solve a variety of problems in distributed systems. In distributed algorithms design, such knowledge helped ensure fairness a...
متن کاملCausal Decomposition in the Mutual Causation System
Inference of causality in time series has been principally based on the prediction paradigm. Nonetheless, the predictive causality approach may overlook the simultaneous and reciprocal nature of causal interactions observed in real world phenomena. Here, we present a causal decomposition approach that is not based on prediction, but based on the instantaneous phase dependency between the intrin...
متن کاملGeneration of Manipulability Ellipsoids for Different Configurations Using the Yoshikawa’s Manipulability Index and Manipulability Ellipsoid
In this paper, we study different manipulating ways which can be used in Robotic Devices, to make the Robots Responsive to Obstacles while performing a given Task. Differential kinematics and the kineto-static manipulability indices of multiple cooperating robot arms, including active and passive joints and actuators are given efforts and researched for developing enhancive Robots. Therefore, m...
