Probabilistic causation refers to the conceptual framework in which causation is understood in probabilistic rather than deterministic terms. In traditional deterministic causation, an event (the cause) leads to a specific outcome (the effect) with certainty. However, in many real-world scenarios, causes do not guarantee a specific effect but rather influence the likelihood or probability of that effect occurring.
