Causally redundant(in metaphysics and causation): When something doesn't need to exist or be explained because something else already does all the work of causing effects.
Gaṅgeśa(as the main philosopher being discussed): A medieval Indian philosopher (lived around 1300s) who founded an important school of logic and epistemology in Hindu philosophy, known for developing sophisticated theories about how we know things are true.
Inferential validity(the main subject of the statement): When a logical argument correctly follows its rules—if the starting points are true, the conclusion must be true.
Invariable concomitance(as the sole basis for valid reasoning according to Gaṅgeśa): A relationship where two things always happen together or one always follows the other without exception; it's like how smoke always goes with fire.
