Primes

• Conjunctive Path Activation
  • In epidemiology, the sufficient-component-cause model makes disease occur under the AND of a sufficient set of component causes, none necessary or sufficient alone.
• Overdetermination
  • In each domain, the causal semantics and proof standard differ, yet the structural question is the same: how many actual complete routes to this effect were present, and would each have remained sufficient under removal of the others?
