If we want to show why E occurred, we fill in the causally relevant processes and interactions that occupy the past light cone of E. that the causal processes and interactions involved in each are quite complex, making it difficult to see how Salmon's account might treat them. Salmon's definitions of causal processes and interactions rely so heavily The counterexamples presented by Kitcher and others may well undermine MT and CI as definitions of causal processes and interactions, but it does not follow that they The S-R model did offer an account of explanatory relevance; the inclusion of the S-R basis in Salmon's (1984) theory of explanation suggests (1992), "Wesley Salmon's Process Causality and the Conserved Quantity Theory", Philosophy of Science 59: 195-216.	./cache/work_e3twdlblx5bzblmtgq2cke52bm.pdf	./txt/work_e3twdlblx5bzblmtgq2cke52bm.txt
