..., which leaves you with F again. Theorem 1 of the appendix ensures that β η is not only sound, but also complete for the structural equations, in the sense that two terms are mapped to the same relational diagram only if they are β η -equivalent. The systems of Frege, Church...

of some of these theories in sections 11–13.
In this essay, I will propose a condition that specifies when counter-
factual dependence is both necessary and sufficient for token causation. I
will develop my account using structural equations and directed graphs
to model various causal systems...

... consider a popular view that is commonly dubbed a “structural mapping” account: “One answer is simply that mathematics is a rich source of structures and therein lies its utility. Some mathematical structure is either designed to, or otherwise found to, accurately capture the important structural relations...

.... Consider water, for example. At the scale of centimeters or larger, the behavior of water is modeled using the Navier-Stokes equations. This treats water as a homogeneous substance at all length scales: the Navier-Stokes equations make no distinction between the structure exhibited by water at 10 meters...

... an equation of the form Vi = fi(Vi1Vim), where Vi is distinct from
each Vij. These equations represent “mechanisms” whereby the value of one
variable is causally determined by the values of others. Mechanisms differ from
what philosophers call “laws” in that the former are asymmetric. If it is a law...

... a minute, a uni-
fied semantics of all determiners can be given. It takes to heart that the
first-order predicate calculus is not expressive enough to properly treat
natural language quantification, and it will assign the same underlying
structure to all of our above examples (ignoring issues about...

... known before Lagrange that a cubic equation of the form x 3 + nx + p = 0 , once transformed by x = y − n / 3 y , becomes a sixth-degree equation y 6 + py 3 + n 3 / 27 = 0 (the “resolvent”) that, miraculously, is quadratic in y 3...
