Causality, Counterfactuals & Logic of Claims¶
Primes about causal and counterfactual reasoning and the logical structure of assertions: causality, conditional probability, and counterfactual subtraction; falsifiability, parsimony, and dialectic; paradoxes and quantifiers; and the normativity, responsibility, and relativism that attach to claims.
22 primes in this family — primes that sit near one another in abstraction space (k-means over structural-signature embeddings). Each is shown with its structural–framed character and how distinctive (sparsely-neighbored) it is.
