Cause

Definition

Causality is one of the three fundamental dimensionalities of Reality, the foundation of the causal dimension, a fundamental emerging property of Reality.

It attains to the fact and the ways in which Agents / Forces / Causes acting on Acted / Fields / Space-Time produce Action / Events (variations) / effects, both at the elementary level of Reality, where the Fundamental Force and the Elementary Field interact producing the Elementary Events, and, more in general, at the more complex level, where Derived Agents / Forces acting on Derived Acted / Fields produce complex events, Derived Action.

In this sense, causality can be considered the fundamental expression of Agency, on its active side. The fundamental expression of the causal principle / property of the Force / Forces. Closely related with the Operator of Reality that we call Perturbation, an expression of the more general operator Variation.

In a relational approach to the study of Nature, causality is a property emerging from the relation between the two fundamental aspects of the Source and of the sources: between the Force / forces and the Field / fields, from the relation between the action of the forces and the effects they produce on fields. Hence, Causality, as the other two fundamental dimensionalities, must be intended as a relational property with reference to Events. In this sense we can say that causality don't exists, it happens. It is a phenomena, a product of the dynamics of the inner interaction of the two aspects of the Source of Reality.
