New paper precisely links graph surgery and do-operator for causal models

This paper introduces a precise mathematical correspondence between graph surgery and the do-operator for deterministic acyclic structural causal models. The research establishes that replacing target mechanisms in a model is equivalent to performing graph surgery on its dependencies. The findings characterize when a graph accurately represents a model's dependencies and detail how sequential interventions combine and influence outcomes. AI

    Graph Surgery and the Do-Operator: A Precise Correspondence for Acyclic Structural Causal Models

    arXiv:2608.17634v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The $\operatorname{do}$-operator is described graphically by deleting arrows into its targets and functionally by replacing their mechanisms with constants. To call these operations equivalent is not yet a mathematical statement: on…
