ENTITIES
In order to define causality between entities we need to define the concept of entity.
What is entity? What are the smaller elements (entities?) it consists of?
An entity is a general term used to describe something that exists and has distinct properties, qualities, or characteristics. Entities can be abstract or concrete, and they can be physical or non-physical in nature. Entities can refer to a wide range of things, such as objects, events, ideas, or even living organisms.
The elements or constituents of an entity can vary depending on the type of entity being considered. Some common elements that entities might consist of include:
Identity: An entity has a unique identity that distinguishes it from other entities. This identity can be based on its properties, characteristics, or relationships with other entities.
Properties or Attributes: Entities have properties or attributes that define their qualities or characteristics. These properties can be inherent to the entity, such as its color or shape, or they can be relational, such as its position relative to other entities.
Structure: Some entities have a specific structure, which refers to the arrangement of their constituent parts. For example, a molecule has a particular structure determined by the arrangement of its atoms.
Relationships: Entities can be related to other entities in various ways, such as through causal connections, spatial or temporal relationships, or through shared properties or characteristics.
The exact elements or constituents of an entity will depend on the specific nature of the entity being considered. Different entities will have different combinations of these elements, which contribute to their uniqueness and the way they interact with other entities within a given context.
The properties and attributes of a particular entity arise from its causal relationships with prior entities that in turn are ultimately based on the necessary existence of non-nothingness which is the first cause (and first entity) of all causality.
It means that there is a chain or graph of causes and effects, where every specific entity on this chain possesses its identity (its unique set of attributes and properties). And every property of it is also causally defined by set of its causes to exist. And also it means that this chain goes down to the first cause.
