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.
