Long descriptions for some figures in The Common Cause Principle
Figure 6 description
A diagram consisting of a time arrow pointing up and three subitems labeled (a), (b), and (c). Subitem (a) is aligned with the bottom of the time arrow and consists of letter C with arrows pointing up to letter A on the left and letter B on the right. Subitem (b) has letters A and B at the same level on the timeline as A and B in subitem (a) and with arrows pointing up to letter D. Subitem (c) combines (a) and (b) with letter C having arrows pointing up to A and B and they in turn with arrows pointing up to D.
Figure 7 description
Three rectangles each containing S in the upper left corner and labeled below with 0, t, and t′ respectively. The first has a circle labeled C enclosing a dot in the lower center part of the circle labeled s. The second has an oval labeled Ut(C) enclosing a dot in the lower left side of the oval labeled Ut(s). The third has a narrower oval labeled Ut′(C) enclosing a dot in the upper right side of the oval labeled Ut′(s). An arrow goes from the dot in the first rectangle to the dot in the second and another from the dot in second to the dot in the third.
Figure 8 description
Similar to Figure 7. Three rectangles each containing S in the upper left corner, labeled respectively with 0, t, and t′, and containing respectively a circle, an oval, and a narrower oval. In the first rectangle the circle is labeled C. In the second the oval is labeled B and there is an overlapping oval labeled A. In the third rectangle the oval is labeled D=Ut′(C).
Figure 9 description
A diagram consisting of six letters labeled U, V, W, X, Y, Z with arrows connecting some of the letters. Letter U has arrows pointing to Y, W, and X. Letter V has arrows pointing to W and X. Letter W has arrows pointing to Y and Z. Letter X has and arrow pointing to Z.
