9. The Input Measure Problem for MM-CCS Chance
Marshall Abrams · 2023
The previous chapter introduced basic ideas of measure-map complex causal structure (MM-CCS) chance and outlined my strategy for applying these ideas to population-environment systems. At this point, the account is very incomplete, though. Probabilities of outcomes have so far only been defined by a potentially arbitrary, purely mathematical input measure. This chapter is devoted to clarifying the main challenge that the idea of MM-CCS faces (§9.2)—what I call “the input measure problem”—and to investigating a potential response to the challenge in the case of population-environment systems (§9.3).
