Causal Modality

• CURIE: gmeow:CausalModality
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/CausalModality
• Category: class
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/risk
• Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)

The force of a causal link — an OPEN value vocabulary seeded with necessitates (the antecedent suffices), promotes (raises likelihood), enables (makes possible), prevents (blocks). Distinct from gmeow:standpointModality (doxastic — how firmly a frame believes the link) and from gmeow:hasDeterminacy (ontic): causal modality is what the link CLAIMS about the world's mechanics.

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:CausalModality as a specialized kind of gufo:QualityValue. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.
