Abstract: Employing the notion of a coupling between measures, drawn from the optimal transport theory, we study the extension of the Sorkin-Woolgar causal relation $K^{+}$ onto the space $mathscrP(mathcalM)$ of Borel probability measures on a given spacetime $mathcalM$. We show that Minguzzi's characterization of $K^{+}$ in terms of time functions possesses a "measure-theoretic" generalization. Moreover, we prove that the relation $K^{+}$ extended onto $mathscrP(mathcalM)$ retains its property of antisymmetry for $mathcalM$ stably causal.
