Causal Domain

Not to be confused with Causal Domain Shear or Arbran Causal Domain.

Definition

The term denotes a set of things joined in a web of cause‑and‑effect. A commonly cited wording summarizes it as “a collection of things mutually linked in a web of cause‑and‑effect relationships,” attributed to The Dictionary (4th edition, A.R. 3000).

Usage and Context

• In current discourse, avout apply the term when discussing isolation and coupling between “inside” and “outside” worlds. One speaker likens their small, orbiting cohort to a “causal domain cut off from the rest of the cosmos,” evoking stories associated with Fraa Orolo and the Ten‑Thousand‑Year Math.
• During preparations and approach toward the Daban Urnud, the term frames how internal choices and near‑misses might have produced different outcomes while remaining connected by shared causation.
• Related reflections suggest that disciplined thinking can “forge connections” to other possible cosmi; this remark is offered by Fraa Jad as part of a broader conversation about decision‑making under Emergence.

Related Terms and Distinctions

• Causal Domain Shear: a heuristic about slight time slippage between loosely linked domains.
• Arbran Causal Domain: the name for this world’s node in theorics diagrams that model information flow among cosmi.

Notes

• The term is conceptual rather than geographic; it describes patterns of causation and coupling.
• It is currently used as a thinking tool in conversation, not as a formal, measured quantity.

Current Status

Actively used as a lens by avout engaged in orbital operations and planning before entering Apert or making contact; it helps articulate how tightly (or weakly) a group may be coupled to the wider cosmos.
