Core ideas

• In causal inference, possible causes are ruled in and ruled out using what we know about possible causal links. But what is a causal link?

• An informational account of causality holds that causal linking is informational linking.

• Informational linking can be added to an account of linking by mechanisms, if mechanisms are seen as information channels.

• A very broad notion of information can be used to capture all cases of causal linking, but further constraints could be added to the broad concept to characterize more narrow groups of cases of causal linking, such as in a particular scientific field.
