Causality doesn’t exist in the scientific sense. While it’s present in many useful models, it is always possible to extend the model without respecting the causality relationships.
Causality is usually of this form:
- Two categories of events are recognized.
- An event is a state of the system at a point in time.
- The events occur within a time (range) from one another with some statistical correlation.
- The event occurring first is said to cause the event that occurs earlier.
