Causation as Influence
Abstract
Face au phenomene de causation redondante qui l'oblige a reviser son analyse contrefactuelle de la causation, l'A. met en evidence la distinction entre la cause (preempting) et l'effet (preempted) de la causation preemptive, quelque soit le cas, symetrique ou asymetrique, de la preemption premiere et de la preemption tardive, definies comme rupture (cutting) de la chaine causale. Rejetant l'idee de quasi-dependance, et corrigeant celle de fragilite, l'A. definit la transitivite de la causation comme modele d'influence.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
