(G, p) satis�es the Markov condition if and only if every variable in V is probabilistically independent from all its non-descendants in G conditional on its the set of variables V, the acyclic causal graph CG and the probability distribution p over V. Theorem 1 (Classic result) Acyclic deterministic systems with jointly independent exogenous variables satisfy the CMC. CMC issue consists exactly in the following: CFMs can represent indeterministic as well as deterministic systems. a causal functional model, with U variables representing the probabilistic nature of the action of indeterministic causes on their e�ects. establish that all acyclic systems with jointly independent exogenous variables De�nition 3 (Characterization of Determinism) A system is deterministic if it is represented by a non-standard causal functional model with no error ./cache/work_7d3wol5p7ffpziapmlf7hvvhy4.pdf ./txt/work_7d3wol5p7ffpziapmlf7hvvhy4.txt
