<br>
If cause means, event A is always followed by event B and B never occurs in<br>
the absence of A (for instance)<br>
<br>
Then the statement that A causes B, taken with the statement "A has<br>
occurred", entails the occurrence of B. <br>

Thanks, that sounds right. Are we interested in similar relations like<br>
entailment?<br>
