Quantum Causality is the meta-theoretical foundational work of the school of Quantum Economics and Quantum Social Science. This book argues that the classical causality paradigm, namely cause preceding effect, a unidirectional temporal order, and an objective existence independent of observation, which humanity has relied upon for three thousand years, is merely an approximate illusion formed after macroscopic systems decohere. The book establishes a general axiomatic system of quantum causality. Causality is not a pre-fixed objective entity. Rather, observation, belief, expectation, and collective consensus drive the collapse of the causal superposition state, generating the determinate causal relations we observe, while systems can form causal entanglement that transmits no signal. This framework runs through physics, mind, society, institutions, economy, finance, and civilizational evolution. It overturns the linear causal system passed down from Aristotle, Newton, David Hume, and Judea Pearl, supplies all of the social sciences with an entirely new underlying ontology, and inaugurates a paradigm revolution that reshapes the epistemological foundations of humanity.
