Multi-Level Cause-Effect Systems (2015, background): “ on the macro-cause v-bar is not well-deﬁned with respect to the macro-effect pulse, as the effects of micro-variables belonging to the same macro-variable causal class are not the same. We have what Spirtes and Scheines (2004) call an “ambiguous manipulation” of v-bar with respect to the pulse. The”
