Hi Russell Standish
Thanks. Causality has enormous importance, especially
if you can differentiate it from correspondence.
I sometimes think that the rise of the stock market is
causally related to the price of gold. Or the value of the dollar.
Historical inflation of the value of the dollar

The machine or program that made the calculation
doesn't have to be real, it's purely an a priori,
a given.
Hi Roger,
Given how? How can a computation occur without access to something
real? Can we get knowledge for free?

Dear Russell,
I have my doubts about "causality" as a *complete* term: our 'systems', cf:
ecosystem etc. include the up-to-date inventory of knowables as in our
