Characterizing counterfactuals and dependencies over causal and generalized causal teams

Logic 2022-01-24 v1

Abstract

We analyze the causal-observational languages that were introduced in Barbero and Sandu (2018), which allow discussing interventionist counterfactuals and functional dependencies in a unified framework. In particular, we systematically investigate the expressive power of these languages in causal team semantics, and we provide complete natural deduction calculi for each language. Furthermore, we introduce a generalized semantics which allows representing uncertainty about the causal laws, and analyze the expressive power and proof theory of the causal-observational languages over this enriched semantics.
