Abstract: With the development of society, people's study on causality is being paid attention to, but up till now have all been basically look for causality from existing knowledge, the unable defect of finding deeper relation and law exists. For this reason, we utilize the finite automaton characteristics to portray the behaviors of the software system or their subsystems accurately, proceed with finite automaton, use the method of knowledge discovery, excavate out deeper causality and law to the question that need solving, combine the theory of knowledge discovery with the research of causality organically, form the theory and method of causality more systematically, set up the state space of cause and effect, form the preliminary theory frame of causality automaton based on knowledge discovery, in order to solve and find the causality under different shapes.

Key words: causality, state space of cause and effect, causality automaton, knowledge discovery
