Causality : Causal systems
While a system can be defined as a network of parts that create a certain ouput, a causal system can be defined as any kind ofd system in which the final product or output depends on past abd current inputs. In general, most sciences focus in this kind of systems given that this are easily found in the nature of our world ruled by physics. It is important to notice that this system is time-dependant on th order of the consequences. When a system depends on past, present and future inputs, the system is considered non-causal. Yet, if the system is completely dependant on future inputs, then we would be dealing with an anticausal system.
