`Branching space-time' is a simple blend of relativity and indeterminism. Postulates and definitions rigorously describe the `causal order' relation between possible point events. The key postulate is a version of `everything has a causal origin'; key defined terms include `history' and `choice point'. Some elementary but helpful facts are proved. Application is made to the status of causal contemporaries of indeterministic events, to how `splitting' of histories happens, to indeterminism without choice, and to Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen distant correlations.
