Causal layered analysis (CLA) is a future research theory that integrates various epistemic modes, creates spaces for alternative futures, and consists of four layers: litany, social, and structural, worldview, and myth/metaphor.[1][2][3] The method was created by Sohail Inayatullah, a Pakistani-Australian futures studies researcher.[4]
