Greetings Craig,
I vaguely remember sitting in a statistics class. I should have paid
more attention.
Rather than a causes b, a one-directional thing, a Buddhist might
state that the relationship between a and b is mutually
interdependent based on cause and conditions. I may be suffering
text anxiety, but I do not see an answer in your post. Does
probability always imply a one-direction relationship, or is the
implied relationship mutually interdependent? (I hope I've made sense.)
