The “Causal” in a Causal Theory of Spacetime

Across several posts, I have outlined how a causal process theory can provide an attractive ontology for phenomena described by the natural sciences, from quantum physics to biology. An exception, mentioned in a recent post, is that I haven’t had much to say about the spacetime of general relativity (GR). This topic is complicated by… Continue reading The “Causal” in a Causal Theory of Spacetime
