Counterfactual Causality from First Principles?

10 Oct 2017  ·  Gregor Gössler, Oleg Sokolsky, Jean-Bernard Stefani ·

In this position paper we discuss three main shortcomings of existing approaches to counterfactual causality from the computer science perspective, and sketch lines of work to try and overcome these issues: (1) causality definitions should be driven by a set of precisely specified requirements rather than specific examples; (2) causality frameworks should support system dynamics; (3) causality analysis should have a well-understood behavior in presence of abstraction.
