The Shape of Absolute Coincidences. Salmon's Interactive Fork Model as Shape of Coincidental Processes

According to a particular view, chance events are not uncaused but they are simply the result of intersecting causal lines. More precisely, the intersections between different processes that belong to independent causal chains are the origin of accidental events, called absolute coincidences. This paper provides a new account devoted to showing the strong relation between absolute coincidences and Salmon's interactive fork criterion, in an attempt to endorse the idea that coincidences can be shaped in terms of a causal model.
