Abstract/Description
This paper presents a novel approach for generating
causal dependencies between system variables, from an
acausal description of the system behaviour, and for
identifying the end causal impact; in terms of whether
a change in the value of an influencing variable will
lead to an increase or a decrease in the value of the
influenced variables . This work is based on the use of
the conventional method for dimensional analysis developed
in classical physics . The utility of the work is
demonstrated with its application to providing causal
explanations for selected physical systems . The results
reflect well the common-sense understanding of the
causality in these systems .
