Programming Unveils Causal Models

Programming serves as a powerful tool for illustrating causal models and translating ideas into executable code. By creating simple games like dice games, one can gain deeper insights into programming, understanding how various programming commands operate as building blocks to represent causal structures. While different programming languages may offer various abstractions for manipulating computer functions, they are fundamentally equivalent in capability. The essential logic behind programming can be distilled into basic operations, such as the NAND operator, highlighting the concept of Turing completeness where diverse configurations of simple building blocks can achieve any desired computational outcome.
