We develop an approach to combining contextuality with causality, which is general enough to cover causal background structure, adaptive measurement-based quantum computation and causal networks. The key idea is to view contextuality as arising from a game played between Experimenter and Nature, allowing for causal dependencies in the actions of both the Experimenter (choice of measurements) and Nature (choice of outcomes). This article is part of the theme issue ‘Quantum contextuality, causality and freedom of choice’.

结合上下文和因果关系：游戏语义方法

我们开发了一种将情境性与因果性相结合的方法，该方法足够通用，足以涵盖因果背景结构、基于自适应测量的量子计算和因果网络。关键思想是将情境性视为实验者和自然之间玩的游戏的结果，允许实验者（测量的选择）和自然（结果的选择）的行为存在因果依赖性。本文是“量子背景、因果关系和选择自由”主题的一部分。
