    Causality!=causation

    🤔

    Edit: If I understand correctly, you use causality in the physics sense, meaning just that something happens after something else (accounting for the speed of light). It seems that in almost all contexts, the two terms are synonyms.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causation?wprov=sfla1 - basically all disambiguation targets assume the terms are equivalent.

      I’ll just assume the second word (or the first, doesn’t matter) should have been “correlation”. It doesn’t make sense otherwise.
