  2. Causality (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causality_(physics)

    Causality is the relationship between causes and effects. [1] [2] While causality is also a topic studied from the perspectives of philosophy and physics, it is operationalized so that causes of an event must be in the past light cone of the event and ultimately reducible to fundamental interactions. Similarly, a cause cannot have an effect ...

  3. Causal contact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_contact

    A good illustration of this principle is the light cone, which is constructed as follows. Taking as event p {\displaystyle p} a flash of light (light pulse) at time t 0 {\displaystyle t_{0}} , all events that can be reached by this pulse from p {\displaystyle p} form the future light cone of p {\displaystyle p} , whilst those events that can ...

  4. Causality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causality

    Causality is an influence by which one event, process, state, or object (a cause) contributes to the production of another event, process, state, or object (an effect) where the cause is at least partly responsible for the effect, and the effect is at least partly dependent on the cause. [1]

  5. Universal causation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_causation

    Pluralized causal principle - there are pluralized versions of universal causation, that allow exceptions to the principle. Robert K. Meyer's causal chain principle, [15] uses set theory axioms, assumes that something must cause itself in set of causes and so universal causation doesn't exclude self-causation. Against infinite regress.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Causality

    Articles relating to causality, an influence by which one event, process, state, or object (a cause) contributes to the production of another event, process, state, or object (an effect) where the cause is partly responsible for the effect, and the effect is partly dependent on the cause.

  7. Causal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_system

    The idea that the output of a function at any time depends only on past and present values of input is defined by the property commonly referred to as causality. A system that has some dependence on input values from the future (in addition to possible dependence on past or current input values) is termed a non-causal or acausal system , and a ...

  9. Causal structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_structure

    In words: the causal diamond of a particle's world-line is the set of all events that lie in both the past of some point in and the future of some point in . In the discrete version, the causal diamond is the set of all the causal paths that connect γ ( t 2 ) {\displaystyle \gamma (t_{2})} from γ ( t 1 ) {\displaystyle \gamma (t_{1})} .
