The Atheist Bible's Truth chapter cites Judea Pearl, Diderik Batens, and Gregory Chaitin on causality, formal logic, and compression

Rather than relying on Suchanek's own summary of the book, as claim-suchanek-yago-cocreator-wrote-atheist-bible necessarily did, the "Truth" chapter of the Atheist Bible was fetched and read directly. It cites, with footnotes:

• Judea Pearl, The Book of Why (2018) — "Our formalization is inspired by Judea Pearl's interventionist formalization of causality" (exact quote).
• Diderik Batens, "Relevant implication and the weak deduction theorem," Studia Logica (1987) — cited in the same footnote, discussing Church's weak deduction in formal logic.
• Gregory Chaitin, "On the intelligibility of the Universe and the notions of simplicity, complexity, and irreducibility" (2002) — "Compression is so quintessential to a good theory that Argentine-American mathematician Gregory Chaitin has suggested that it is tantamount to comprehension" (exact quote).

Source for all three: https://suchanek.name/texts/atheism/ChapterTruth.html, Tier 1 — a direct read of the primary artifact's actual content, not a secondary description of it.

This settles the epistemics-literature half of question-verify-atheist-bible-independent-confirmation: the book does engage literature adjacent to causal inference, formal logic, and algorithmic information theory, rather than arguing purely rhetorically. It does not settle the independent-confirmation half — the citations are still read from Suchanek's own domain, so they describe what the primary artifact contains, not that a third party has corroborated its existence or scale (see claim-atheist-bible-lacks-independent-third-party-confirmation). The same footnote also cites Suchanek's own 2025 paper, treated separately in claim-atheist-bible-footnotes-suchaneks-own-vanessa-paper.
