Unified Causal Alignment

Abstract

Two frozen Boolean causal separations align faithfully on one cumulative 48-state coproduct.

Definition 1.1 (Unified causal arena).

Lean statement: D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.unifiedArena

Formalization. D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.unifiedArena (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The canonical arena is the coproduct of the landed intervention-counterfactual and observation-intervention model carriers.

Definition 1.2 (Unified observation-intervention signature).

Lean statement: D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.unifiedObservationInterventionSignature

Formalization. D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.unifiedObservationInterventionSignature (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Two optional branch-local CUT readouts realize observation and intervention on the right coproduct branch.

Definition 1.3 (Observation-intervention realization).

Lean statement: D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.observationInterventionUnifiedRealization

Formalization. D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.observationInterventionUnifiedRealization (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The OI readouts are injected faithfully while the opposite branch returns none.

Definition 1.4 (Unified intervention-counterfactual signature).

Lean statement: D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.unifiedInterventionCounterfactualSignature

Formalization. D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.unifiedInterventionCounterfactualSignature (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Two optional branch-local CUT readouts realize intervention and counterfactual information on the left branch.

Definition 1.5 (Intervention-counterfactual realization).

Lean statement: D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.interventionCounterfactualUnifiedRealization

Formalization. D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.interventionCounterfactualUnifiedRealization (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The IC readouts are injected faithfully while the opposite branch returns none.

Definition 1.6 (Cumulative observation readout).

Lean statement: D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.ObsU

Formalization. D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.ObsU (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The coarse readout combines one IC intervention slice with OI observation.

Definition 1.7 (Cumulative intervention readout).

Lean statement: D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.IntU

Formalization. D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.IntU (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The middle readout combines full IC intervention with paired OI observation and intervention.

Definition 1.8 (Cumulative counterfactual readout).

Lean statement: D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.CfU

Formalization. D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.CfU (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The finest readout uses IC counterfactual tables and the literal OI model identity.

Theorem 1.9 (Observation factors through intervention).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.obsU_factorization (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

For each coproduct branch, forgetting intervention data computes exactly the cumulative observation readout.

Theorem 1.10 (Intervention factors through counterfactual).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.intU_factorization (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Counterfactual collapse on the IC branch and direct restriction on the OI branch recover intervention data.

Theorem 1.11 (Observation captures an explicit pair).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.unified_observation_positive_witness (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

A constant-false OI model is off diagonal from the named X-causes-Y model and has a different observation readout.

Theorem 1.12 (Intervention strictly refines observation).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.unified_observation_intervention_strict_refinement (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The factorization implication is paired with the injected opposite-direction OI witness.

Theorem 1.13 (Counterfactual strictly refines intervention).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.unified_intervention_counterfactual_strict_refinement (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The factorization implication is paired with the injected IC no-effect and flip-effect witness.

Definition 1.14 (Observation-intervention law arena).

Lean statement: D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.observationInterventionLawArena

Formalization. D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/InformationEscapeRealizations/UnifiedCausalAlignment.observationInterventionLawArena (✓ std3).
