Help talk:Modeling causes
@Emw:. Let the three causes described be {C1, C2, and C3} and let 'a' and 'b' be items. We say that "a causes b" (writen 'aC*b'). If each is chainable with each other? That is, potentially, aC1b, bC2c, cC3d. Then the hypothesis is that we can make some inference between 'a' and 'd', as I understand it. However is there some way we can determine how these causes "compose". In a very naive way we could say C1=1, C2=0.5, and C2=1 and so a chain that was aC1bC2cC3d implies a->d has a causal factor of (1*0.5*0.1 = 0.05) Although I think that is really the wrong way to model it, the point is, perhaps the rules of composition (if any can be found) would discount a chain with two sequential C3's. Do you know of any such composition rules? Maximilianklein (talk) 16:46, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
More specific kinds of causation[edit]
What about:
- produced by (P2849)
- product or material produced or service provided (P1056)
- natural product of taxon (P1582) and this taxon is source of (P1672)
- manufacturer (P176)
- inspired by (P941)
