The authors define exact transformations between structural equation models (SEMs) to test whether a simpler model preserves causal reasoning. The transformation must match distributions under every specified intervention and map interventions surjectively while preserving their order. They prove exactness for selected marginalization, micro-to-macro averaging, and equilibrium cases, under stated conditions—not universally for all simplifications.
