Primes¶
- Minimal Modification Principle
- Tools like background-condition specification (what are we holding fixed?), change-tree analysis (what else must change if the antecedent changes?), and reasonableness bounding (is this alternative scenario reasonable?) transfer across domains, as Halpern (2016) demonstrates by formalizing actual causality through structural-equation counterfactuals applicable across legal, software, and economic settings.
This sourceExtends Halpern–Pearl structural-equation framework to actual causality, responsibility, blame, and explanation; demonstrates how change-tree analysis and background-condition specification transfer across legal cases, software debugging, and economic counterfactuals.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
