 show how a deductive argument, or similar formal structure, can represent causal influence…. When a deductive argument is of the right sort to represent a causal process that has as a consequence the state of affairs asserted to hold by the argument’s conclusion, I say that the argument causally entails the conclusion. A derivation that causally entails its conclusion, then, is one that can be used to represent (whether truly or not) a causal process that has the concluding state of affairs as its consequence.
