tion (meaning) of the definiens should be a good fit to the perception of C. Within this framework, what can be asserted is that it is not possible to construct a definition of causality--especially inverse causality--which is general, mm-precise and cointensive. A major obstacle as noted in my message is the problem of decombination. Warm regards, Lotfi -- Lotfi A.
