Abstract: The ramification problem in the context of commonsense reasoning about actions and
change names the challenge to accommodate actions whose execution causes indirect
effects. Not being part of the respective action specification, such effects are consequences
of general laws describing dependencies between components of the world description. We
present a general approach to this problem which incorporates causality, formalized by
directed relations between two single effects stating that, under ... (Update)
