This work develops a formal theory of Causal Karma within the Causal Theory framework. It defines karma not as supernatural punishment, personal return, or moral revenge, but as the persistent residual weight of an interrupted admissible becoming: a causal trajectory that was opened, invested with function, but not allowed to reach persistence or integration. The paper distinguishes biological birth from causal closure, showing that the Son Unit cannot be reduced to one biological individual or one birth event. Instead, the Son Unit marks the threshold at which fluctuation becomes persistent cause. Causal Karma measures what remains when an opened possible trajectory is prevented, absorbed, wasted, denied, externalized, or deferred. The framework separates Love and Justice: Love is treated as the regenerative field of coherence, while Justice is the activated rectifying operator required when spontaneous self-repair fails. Justice integrates karmic residue under non-erasure, proportionality, symmetry, and non-perversity constraints. The paper introduces formal definitions, axioms, theorems, biological applications, economic and artificial-intelligence extensions, and falsifiability protocols. It also includes an addendum on the non-erasure of the possible, the three thresholds of opening/persistence/justice, the distinction between transfer and erasure, parental asymmetry, karmic externality, and recurrence. A reproducible computational demonstration is available here: https: //colab. research. google. com/drive/1AgFeUrECC1SKRKSo6pUV5ab0PkjPneQ? usp=sharing The computational model demonstrates, inside a formal causal ledger, that opened interrupted becoming is not equivalent to nothing: denial, false erasure, transfer, and justice produce distinct measurable ledger dynamics.
