[C]ausal models can be weakly deterministic, basically associative models, which tell you if this state [S<sub>1</sub>] happens, it is quite probable that this one [S<sub>2</sub>] comes afterwards. Or you can get to a strongly determined model... one which tells you, if you are in this state [S<sub>1</sub>], and this condition [c<sub>1</sub>] is met, you're going to go exactly in this state [S<sub>2</sub>]. If this state is not met, or a different condition [c<sub>2</sub>] is met, you go into this state [S<sub>3</sub>]. And this is what we call an algorithm. Now you're in the domain of computation.
