Hello and welcome

In this episode, I talk about how to #compare #causalmaps of two different people. There is a #formula that you can find in the papers that I list below. In the episode, I explain the logic behind the #measurement. Even though the procedure might look "scary", it is a simple calculation of the distances as you count the #distance between two dots on the #coordinatesystem. If you understand the logic behind the formula, you will quickly understand how the #calculation is performed.  

Good luck with your #investigation!
