WIST Quotations

A quotation from Steven Moffat

THE DOCTOR: People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly … timey-wimey … stuff.

Steven Moffat (b. 1961) Scottish television writer, producer
Doctor Who (1995), 03×10 “Blink” (2007-06-09)

”Prehension unifies causality, perception, and memory into a single notion of “feeling.” …our bodies feel causal efficacy directly. When you flick a light switch and your pupils contract, that is causality-in-experience. …feeling, aim, and purpose arise within nature, not by external imposition.”
—Matthew Segall, Prehensions, Propositions, and the Cosmological Commons

The assumption is that there are certain physical laws (‘equations’) that all matter must obey, epitomized in the Newtonian paradigm. In sum, this is an ‘upward’ theory of causation.

Machine learning revolutionises industries, yet understanding causality remains a challenge. By integrating causal models, AI can provide deeper, more interpretable insights beyond mere correlations. Overcoming practical hurdles is key to future breakthroughs. Could causality be the next frontier? #MachineLearning #AI #Causality #TechInsights kdnuggets.com/is-causality-the

The difference between the perspectives of classical physics and those of the Copenhagen School was therefore rooted in different views of the basic philosophical concepts: objectivity, phenomenon, causality and physical reality. The actual revolution in the philosophical foundations of physics consisted in Bohr’s seeing himself as obliged to redefine these concepts in order to retain them within the framework of the new physics. At the same time this meant a redefinition of the criteria of science.

Beyond #causality
aeon.co/essays/to-better-under

#Mathematics shows that understanding isn't just about finding causes, but about recognizing complex structural relationships that connect mind and nature. It shows that the mental and physical worlds aren't separate - they're different aspects of the same reality.

So, stop seeing #science and #humanities as competing worldviews. They're complementary ways of exploring our interconnected world, with mathematics as the translator between them.

Causalingofication - describing an association as if it is causal, without a research design allowing for causal inference.
detectingbadscience.wordpress.
Correlation is not causation. Yet research reports often make causal claims, even when the research design does not allow for them. Researchers regularly describe the results of a regression as if the correlates have “effects” on the outcome.
