This paper explores challenges in applying causal attribution to structural changes affecting responsibility in relational systems.
Evaluated failures of classical causal attribution in relation to resource limitations and tribunal requirements.
Proposed a criterion for normative weight associated with structural changes that impact accountability pathways.
Examined case studies to illustrate the distinctions in attributing responsibility and the conditions under which structures can be contested.
Proposed that reliability of structural outputs does not equate with the validity of accountability paths.
Identified that structural transformations may not reveal direct measures of contribution to vulnerability.
Concluded that the proposed criterion for structural changes remains self-referential and cannot determine liability under incomplete records.
