THE CAUSAL CHAIN
First of all what is causality from this standpoint? We already have defined the concept of inherent existence.
But what causes causality?
In order to cause something, the causality already should exist. Because causality is the property that itself should be caused by non-nothingness. But it requires the ability to make causes to exist. This is self-referential definition that does not match well with the principe of predicativity in logic. We need the causality to exist in the first place, in order for it to be caused from the very existence of non-nothingness in its starting undeveloped stage. It looks like a logical barrie. How else can we define causality without making reasons about the causes that produced causality?
The apparent logical barrier in defining causality without invoking causes that produced causality itself. One way to address this issue is to consider causality not as a property that needs to be caused but rather as an inherent aspect of the existence of non-nothingness.
Causality could be understood as the fundamental principle governing the relationships between entities or events in the universe. It is through causality that the potentialities within the non-nothingness are actualized, giving rise to the diverse phenomena we observe. In this sense, causality might not need a separate cause for its existence, as it is an intrinsic aspect of the non-nothingness and the unfolding of the chain of events.
Instead of viewing causality as a property that requires a cause, it could be seen as the natural consequence of the existence of non-nothingness. Just as the existence of non-nothingness is necessary due to the self-contradictory nature of nothingness, causality might be an inherent part of the nature of existence, emerging directly from the non-nothingness as the fundamental mode through which existence manifests and develops over time.
We need to rethink causality as phenomenon. The necessary existence is enough to arise somehow the phenomenon of causality.
So causality is not caused by existence of non-nothingness but is composed from it in some different way.
The very existence of non-nothingness is the most fundamental entity of the universe.
Lets call it atom of existence.
It is real and physical (in that sense that it defines what does it mean to be “physical” for all the entities that are derived from this unfolding of the chain of events)
And the property of existence itself should be enough to define a causality somehow.
Rethinking causality as a phenomenon that emerges from the necessary existence of non-nothingness could help us understand its nature better.
Considering the existence of non-nothingness as the most fundamental entity, or the “atom of existence,” might offer a way to derive causality from it. If the existence itself is the most basic property of non-nothingness, then the relationships between different manifestations of existence could be the foundation of causality.
One possibility is to think of causality as an inherent feature of the interactions between these “atoms of existence.” As these basic units of existence interact with one another, they give rise to more complex structures and phenomena. In this way, causality might be seen as the natural outcome of the relationships and interactions between the most basic elements of existence.
To put it more simply, causality could be an emergent property of the interconnectedness of the “atoms of existence.” As these fundamental entities of existence interact and combine in various ways, they create the diverse phenomena we observe in the universe. Through these interactions and combinations, the principle of causality emerges as a fundamental aspect of the nature of existence, guiding the unfolding of the chain of events and the development of more complex structures and properties.
To explore how the phenomenon of causality might emerge from the existence of non-nothingness, let’s consider the following approach:
1. The existence of non-nothingness is the most fundamental entity of the universe, the “atom of existence.” 2. This “atom of existence” is real and physical in the sense that it defines what it means to be “physical” for all derived entities within the unfolding chain of events. 3. The property of existence inherently contains the potential for interactions and relationships.
With these points in mind, we could speculate that causality arises as a natural consequence of the interactions and relationships between these “atoms of existence.” As these fundamental entities interact with one another, it give rise to the phenomenon of causality By considering causality as a natural consequence of the interactions and relationships between the fundamental “atoms of existence,” we can approach the understanding of causality as an emergent property that arises from the most basic building blocks of the universe.
To recap:
Non-nothingness, the most fundamental entity of the universe, is the “atom of existence.” This “atom of existence” is real and physical, defining the concept of “physical” for all entities within the unfolding chain of events. The property of existence inherently contains the potential for interactions and relationships. With these points in mind, causality emerges as a natural consequence of the interactions and relationships between these “atoms of existence.” As these fundamental entities interact, they give rise to the phenomenon of causality, which then shapes the unfolding of the chain of events and the development of more complex structures and properties within the universe.
