[FRIAM] The epiphenomenality relation

Steve,  Is there any difference between a sequential dynamic system and a causal system, or is the former a species of the latter?  

 

Just trying to get the words straight.

All of this discussion seems to be framed conveniently (for CS/modeling types) as Sequential Dynamical Systems:

Can’t the delay be in arbitrarily-small discretized units (e.g. picoseconds) if needed?

By the way an example of a cycle with no delay, unless time isn't continuous, is a pair of ladders leaning against each other so that neither falls.  That violates assumptions of our causal discovery algorithms.

An element of a (very short) cycle.  Note that there has to be a delay.

Frank, 

 

In your lingo, what is an effect called that feeds back on its cause?

Yes, for example.

I did a number of experiments in the use of causal learning methods to infer genetic regulatory networks using actual and simulated data.  Those networks have loops of a variety of lengths.  References available upon request.

I just don't see how that is a "loop" except that repeated application of such a matrix could lead to oscillation.    It sounded like somehow causality was violated and not just obscured.

Right, high dimension. More important than the matrix being large is that it has non-zero cross terms.
