Conflates(in argumentation and logic): Treats two different things as if they're the same thing, or mixes them up in a way that causes confusion.
Epistemic access(used to show that the distinction might only be about our different ways of knowing, not about reality itself): The different ways we can know about or gain knowledge of something—essentially, how we're able to learn about it.
Judea Pearl(as the originator of do-calculus): A computer scientist and philosopher who developed mathematical tools for understanding cause and effect. He's famous for figuring out how to distinguish between what we observe happening and what actually causes what.
Openness (metaphysical)(as used in philosophy of possibility): The idea that something is genuinely possible or could actually happen in reality, not just that we don't know about it yet.
