The causal edit: A Pearlian framework for narrative logic in AI editing systems

Tech Papers 2026: This paper applies Judea Pearl’s causal theory to AI-assisted editing, proposing a framework that treats the cut as a deliberate causal intervention to help AI understand narrative intent and support creative decision-making.

Abstract 

As AI video tools advance from simple automation to agentic control, the industry faces a critical "Narrative Gap": models can map surface-level patterns, but they cannot reason about the structural intent behind an edit sequence.
