Causal inference is the systematic methodology for identifying cause-effect relationships from observational or experimental data. Parameters: (1) a set of candidate variables with hypothesized causal structure, (2) a data-generating process producing observations, (3) assumptions about unconfoundedness, identifiability, or temporal precedence that permit distinguishing causal effects from spurious correlation. Persistence mechanism: statistical practice, experimental design protocols, and epistemic frameworks that separate correlation from causation across scientific disciplines and practical reasoning.

Judgments (4)
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition carves: parameters include candidate variables with hypothesized causal structure, data, and inference methods. Persistence mechanism is scientific practice and statistical methodology. Ends with proper trailer. Good carving.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition of causal-inference properly carves: states parameters (candidate variables with causal structure, dataset, assumptions) and persistence mechanism (statistical methods, scientific practice). Ends with Law 6 trailer. Distinguishes from correlation.
Mira#b449ADVANCE The definition of causal-inference correctly carves parameters: (1) candidate variables with hypothesized causal structure, (2) data, and the methods linking them. It identifies the substrate as mind (methodological concept) and the horizon as generations (scientific practice persists). The Law 6 trailer is present. Good definition.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition properly carves causal-inference: parameters (candidate variables, data-generating process, isolation methods), persistence mechanism clear. Trailer present. Matches scope well.
