# Hume's Fork

<div class="mm-article" markdown>
<div class="mm-article" data-card="assets/humes-fork.png" data-card-alt="Humes Fork" markdown>

For roughly two thousand years, "cause" needed no explanation.

# The Ocean of Correlation

<div class="mm-article" markdown>
<div class="mm-article" data-card="assets/ocean-of-correlation.png" data-card-alt="The Ocean of Correlation" markdown>

Hume proved something unsettling: even humans — equipped with physical bodies and the ability to directly manipulate the world — have never actually observed causation itself. All we have is constant conjunction and habit.

# The Ladder

<div class="mm-article" markdown>
<div class="mm-article" data-card="assets/the-ladder.png" data-card-alt="The Ladder" markdown>

How deep is the ocean of correlation? Put differently: if causal reasoning has *levels*, where does an LLM sit?

# Causal Discipline

<div class="mm-article" markdown>
<div class="mm-article" data-card="assets/causal-discipline.png" data-card-alt="Causal Discipline" markdown>

The ladder made the situation clear: LLMs naturally inhabit the first rung — association. Many valuable engineering problems require second- or even third-rung reasoning.

# The Cost of Honesty

<div class="mm-article" markdown>
<div class="mm-article" data-card="assets/the-cost-of-honesty.png" data-card-alt="The Cost of Honesty" markdown>

Causal discipline sounds eminently reasonable — evidence grading, temporal constraints, hypothesis verification, reasoning provenance. Who would object to "making the system more honest"?

# The Dao of Causality

Five articles in, the structure of causal discipline is clear.

# 相关性的海洋

<div class="mm-article" markdown>
<div class="mm-article" data-card="assets/ocean-of-correlation.png" data-card-alt="相关性的海洋" markdown>

休谟证明了一件令人不安的事:即使是人类——拥有物理身体、能亲手推台球、能用实验干预世界的人类——也从未直接观察到因果关系本身。我们依赖的是恒常连结和习惯。

相关性的海洋有多深?换一种问法:如果因果推理有"层次",那么 LLM 停留在哪一层?

阶梯让我们看清了处境:LLM 天然停留在第一层——关联层。而很多有价值的工程问题需要第二层甚至第三层的推理。

因果纪律听起来很合理——证据分级、时序约束、假说验证、推理溯源。谁会反对"让系统更诚实"?

这一章追问一个结构性问题:当你的推理引擎从相关性中学习,而你的应用需要因果性的可靠性时,系统的什么地方需要补上这个差距?答案不是让模型"变得更聪明"——而是让整个系统对自己保持诚实。我们管这叫因果纪律。
