Abstract

One of our most resilient intuitions is that causality is a precondition for information flow: where there are no causal connections, we expect there to be no flow of information. In this paper, we study this idea as it arises in the computer science notion of systems architectures, which are high level designs that describe the coarse structure of a system in terms of its high-level components and their permitted causal interactions.
