Hume's Representational Conditions for Causal Judgment: What Bayesian Formalization Abstracted Away

ArXi:2604.03387v1 Announce Type: new Hume's account of causal judgment presupposes three representational conditions: experiential grounding (ideas must trace to impressions), structured retrieval (association must operate through organized networks exceeding pairwise connection), and vivacity transfer (inference must produce felt conviction, not merely updated probability). This paper extracts these conditions from Hume's texts and argues that they are integral to his causal psychology.
