ABSTRACT

The article discusses causal models, such as Petri nets and event structures, how they have been rediscovered in a wide variety of recent applications, and why they are fundamental to computer science. A discussion of their present limitations leads to their extension with symmetry. The consequences, actual and potential, are discussed.
