The pairing argument aims to demonstrate the impossibility of non-spatial objects (including minds) standing in causal relations. Its chief premises are (roughly) that causation requires pairing relations between causes and effects and that pairing relations require spatial relations. Critics have argued that the first claim suffers from counterexamples involving indeterministic causation. After briefly rehearsing the pairing argument and the objection from indeterministic causation, I offer two ways of revising the pairing argument to meet the objection from indeterministic causation.

配对参数的不确定因果关系和两个补丁

配对论证旨在证明非空间对象（包括思想）在因果关系中是不可能的。它的主要前提是（大致）因果关系需要因果关系之间的配对关系，而配对关系需要空间关系。批评者认为，第一个主张受到涉及不确定因果关系的反例的影响。在简要地排练配对论证和非确定性因果关系的反对意见之后，我提供了两种修改配对论证的方法来满足非确定性因果关系的反对意见。
