论文摘要
承诺理论与信息理论之间的明确联系，虽然也许显而易见，但在这里明确列出。这表明了对应许行为的因果关系观察与香农理论中因果信息的概率表述有关，从而阐明了自治或因果独立的含义，以及信息与因果集之间的联系。承诺理论有助于明确一些假设，这些假设通常是在因果描述中理所当然的。承诺的概念很难逃脱。它是意图的代理，无论是先验还是通过推断，它是对后者观察的解释的固有的。
The explicit link between Promise Theory and Information Theory, while perhaps obvious, is laid out explicitly here. It's shown how causally related observations of promised behaviours relate to the probabilistic formulation of causal information in Shannon's theory, and thus clarify the meaning of autonomy or causal independence, and further the connection between information and causal sets. Promise Theory helps to make clear a number of assumptions which are commonly taken for granted in causal descriptions. The concept of a promise is hard to escape. It serves as proxy for intent, whether a priori or by inference, and it is intrinsic to the interpretations of observations in the latter.
