Probability Kinematics and Causality

PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association 1992:365 - 373 (1992)
Abstract Making up your mind can include making up your mind about how to change your mind. Here a suggestion for coding imputations of influence into the kinematics of judgmental probabilities is applied to the treatment of Newcomb problems in The Logic of Decision framework. The suggestion is that what identifies you as treating judgmental probabilistic covariance of X and Y as measuring an influence of X on Y is constancy of your probabilities for values of Y conditionally on values of X as your judgmental probability distribution for values of X changes.
