ALT Join us online Friday, February 18th Noon ET (Boston time) through: https://wpi.zoom.us/j/96791290136 In this Collective Learning Meeting (CLM), WPI System Dynamics PhD Candidate Timothy Clancy ([email protected]) will present Enriching our Causal Vocabulary: Expanding the Language of System Dynamics Short Description: In the last 20 years, there has been a heightened interest in the fields of physics, biology, cosmogony, and complex systems science on differentiating types of causation. In this presentation, Timothy introduces many of these terms to practitioners. What is the difference between top-down and bottom-up causation or between coarse-graining and fine-graining causal chains? What are causal classes, ranks, and types? For a field seeking to simulate causal relationships in structure - are we introducing these terms into our work and techniques?
