Primes

• Adaptive Redirection
  • Items that survive deletion unchanged are ceremonial.

    This sourceEstablishes counterfactual dependence -- would the outcome have been different had it not occurred -- as the test of whether a factor made a difference, which is the inference the deletion test runs against each retained asset.

• Overdetermination
  • Counterfactual theories therefore use overdetermination as a central stress test rather than as an exotic naming convention.
