causal structure

Causal structure refers to how different factors or events influence each other, showing how one thing can cause or lead to another. Think of it as a map that outlines cause-and-effect relationships, helping us understand why something happens. For example, if you water a plant and it grows, watering is part of its causal structure. Recognizing these links allows us to predict outcomes, identify key factors, and understand the underlying system that connects various elements. It provides a framework for understanding how changes in one part of a system can produce changes in another.
