We study the Reichenbach's Common Cause Principle (RCCP). It states that every
correlation is either a consequence of the matters dealt with, or it is a
result
of a common cause.
If two events are correlated, there should exist a common cause that explains
this correlation.
A fundamental insight is that a common cause cannot exist for every pair of
events in a finite system. Fortunately, we managed to find an embedding into a
common cause complete system for finite and some countable systems.
This is a presentation of the paper
