Causal Canvas Turns Causal Models into Code

Field notes

The project separates semantic content from presentation: named views control subsets, filters, layouts, and themes, while the underlying .causal.json file remains diffable and schema-validated. Its linting examples cover collider adjustment, exclusion-restriction violations, unidentifiable latent variables, and disconnected exposure–outcome paths. The page also describes deterministic SVG, vector PDF, and PNG export, with figures intended to regenerate from the model during CI builds.
