Actually, probabilistically, it does not. There's effectively infinite correlations you can come up with that have no cause and effect

- dragonwriter 10y agoWhen I say there is a probabilistic implication, I mean, basically: P (X causes Y|X correlates with Y) > P (X causes Y) > P (X causes Y|X doesn't correlate with Y)
- fragsworth 10y agoYeah, I don't think that conjecture holds (or even makes sense?), if you're talking about the set of all possible correlations. If you take the limits, you end up getting 0 > 0 > 0.
