Primes

• Causal Layered Analysis (CLA)
  • The framework resists reductionism by insisting that any serious analysis must traverse all four layers to achieve adequate causal explanation, a methodological commitment Inayatullah (2002) develops in Questioning the Future.

    This sourceDevelops action-learning futures as a method that iteratively questions given futures to create alternative and preferred ones; supports the claim that serious causal analysis must traverse all four layers rather than stop at surface events.

• Future Wheel
  • The future wheel is a methodologically specific implementation of this principle, in the tradition Inayatullah (2002) describes in Questioning the Future — qualitative, structured, group-friendly, and appropriate for the early phase of consequence analysis where identification of what to consider is more valuable than precise quantification.
