New Hamiltonian Causal Models Reconcile Physics and Causality

Researchers have introduced Hamiltonian Causal Models (HCMs), a new framework for understanding causality in physical systems. HCMs treat observed variables as interacting with local environments, with interventions acting as controls on Hamiltonian mechanisms. This approach naturally interfaces with non-equilibrium thermodynamics, using entropy production as a key causal observable that quantifies process irreversibility and reveals causal effects invisible to standard methods.
