Counterfactual Spaces
Junhyung Park, Fanny Yang, Thomas Icard · 2026-01-02 · via math.ST updates on arXiv.org

We mathematically axiomatise the stochastics of counterfactuals, by introducing two related frameworks, called counterfactual probability spaces and counterfactual causal spaces, which we collectively term counterfactual spaces. They are, respectively, probability and causal spaces whose underlying measurable spaces are products of world-specific measurable spaces. In contrast to more familiar accounts of counterfactuals founded on causal models, we do not view interventions as a necessary component of a theory of counterfactuals. As an alternative to Pearl's celebrated ladder of causation, we view counterfactuals and interventions are orthogonal concepts, respectively mathematised in counterfactual probability spaces and causal spaces. The two concepts are then combined to form counterfactual causal spaces. At the heart of our theory is the notion of shared information between the worlds, encoded completely within the probability measure and causal kernels, and whose extremes are characterised by independence and synchronisation of worlds. Compared to existing frameworks, counterfactual spaces enable the mathematical treatment of a strictly broader spectrum of counterfactuals.
