Causal Chains

What We’re Tracking #

Cross-journal causal relationships — where a development tracked in one topic journal is the direct or structural cause of an observation in another. Symptom-catalogue collects observations; five-what-ifs hypothesises forward; causal-chains looks backward to identify what is causing what we observe across the topic system.

Config: journals/signals/config/causal-chains.yaml

How this journal works #

Runs on every journal run: it re-reads the new entries in every topic journal with the Causal Chains method and writes one dated entry. It gathers nothing itself.
