Causal Modelling, Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning
Causal Modelling is a new tool for efficient decision making in business, finance, economics.
​
Instability, Money, Complexity, Qualitative Changes, Circularity.

In this site I will present ideas that are beginning to be accepted as well as my own research.
