Models in which causation arises from higher level structures as well as from microdynamics may be relevant to unifying quantum theory with classical physics or general relativity. They also give a way of defining a form of panprotopsychist property dualism, in which consciousness and material physics causally affect one another. I describe probabilistic toy models based on cellular automata that illustrate possibilities and difficulties with these ideas.
因果关系既源于微观动力学又源于更高层次结构的模型，可能与将量子理论与经典物理学或广义相对论统一起来相关。它们还提供了一种定义泛原心理主义属性二元论形式的方法，在这种理论中，意识和物质物理学相互之间存在因果影响。我描述了基于元胞自动机的概率性简化模型，这些模型阐释了这些观点的可能性和困难。
