Causal Primitive: Sufficiency

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Causal powerconcept0.772
  The ability of an agent to be a driver of subsequent events; a hallmark of cognition that causal emergence quantifies.
• Causal abstractionconcept0.768
  A framework the paper uses alongside feature geometry to deepen mechanistic understanding of LMs
• Constructive Causal Abstractionconcept0.762
  Formal definition: H is a constructive abstraction of L under alignment Π when interchange interventions have equivalent effects at both levels.
• Causal Abstraction over Cyclic Tasksconcept0.757
• Early causal abstraction methods (Geiger et al. 2021) implicitly rely on the privileged bases hypothesis, while recent methods (Geiger et al. 2024b) rely on the linear representation hypothesisclaim0.750
  Historical framing of how representation assumptions have evolved in causal interpretability
• Causal Mechanismconcept0.750
  Function determining the value of a variable based on its causal parents in an acyclic causal model.
• Approximate Causal Abstractionconcept0.747
  Graded notion of causal abstraction measured by IIA; when IIA is alpha < 100%, the model is alpha-on-average approximately abstract.
• causal regularitiesconcept0.747
  The structural-realist grounding for self-evidencing after the bounded self is relinquished.
