# Causal Reasoning Execute systematic cause-effect reasoning. The logic of process and action. ## Relationship to Goals Threads are the **execution layer** for goals. Goals define *what* to achieve; threads define *how*. ``` Goal (goal-setter) └── Subgoal └── Thread (reasoning-causal) ← executes via 6-stage flow └── Learning → updates Goal state (goal-tracker) ``` **Thread types:** - **Goal-linked:** Created from subgoals, has `goal_id` in metadata - **Reactive:** Created from signals (no goal), may spawn or link to goal ## Type Signature ``` Causal : Input → Hypothesis → Implication → Decision → Action → Learning Where: Input : Observation × Context → FactualStatement Hypothesis : FactualStatement × CanvasAssumption → TestableHypothesis Implication : TestableHypothesis → (Impact × Probability × Timeline) Decision : Implication × Alternatives → Commitment Action : Commitment → [ExecutableTask] Learning : [ExecutedTask] × Outcomes → CanvasUpdate × GoalUpdate ``` ## When to Use - Process execution with known steps - Decision with clear cause-effect chain - Operational workflows (sales, marketing, engineering) - Canvas hypothesis testing - Action planning and execution - **Executing subgoals** (goal-linked threads) ## Thread Types | Type | Location | Use For | |------|----------|---------| | Business | `threads/operations/{name}/` | Strategic decisions, product changes | | Sales | `threads/sales/{name}/` | Deal pi
