Class Hierarchy
- caused by action
Definition
Links an Event to the Action that caused or enabled it: cause-in-fact per the NESS test of Wright (1985), formalized for action languages by Sarmiento et al. (2022). Resolved deterministically at commit by causal_edges.apply_event_cause_edges from the converter reference (fragment remap; no embedding or LLM); records the enabling action in the AutomaticEvent origin tie-break, and a commit guard skips the edge on ExogenousEvent subjects (no proximate agent cause by definition).
