to introduce some rather ad hoc constraints on the vectorial representation of causal powers (egp 38). The authors adopt the vectorial representation because it is 'suited to dis-play many of the features of a dispositional theory of causation'(p. 20), and is thus 'amenable to a dispositionalist ontology'(p. 46).
