Hi Nick,

I assume you already know about the work Judea Pearl did to define a
notion of causality in the context of inference on Boolean networks?
I don't have citations on this, because I only learned about it
recently in someone's talk, but I gather it is fairly widely known.
Happily it doesn't claim to address all questions in which a given
kind of word appears, so it probably contributed something concrete to
answering a single class of them.

What is that old folk saying, said with a sigh?  
"Always a physicist, never a philosopher."

Best,

Eric
