effect and affect are observational understanding of the physical movements of things

this discussion should be important

since " cause " and its implications are important to how we think things come about

inotherwords cause is a concept , a thought , that has been , initially , brought on by observing and then thinking upon the affects and effects of the physical movement of objects around us and learning

...Thought IS interpretation...CAUSE, is to affect in order to effect !

...Thought and Cause are both physical, at least as much physical physical intends to mean...

@north,

who claimed that ??? are you feeling well ???
...if I just did explain to you that thought is about interpreting reality...
...you can change the world through thought but not directly this is not a telekinesis thesis...you really must read posts carefully North...

Sentence 1 - ...Thought IS interpretation...
Sentence 2 - CAUSE, is to affect in order to effect !

Is that better now ?

@north,

I would define 'thinking' as movement in the brain (I heard that from some UK neuroscientist off the television and it made sense to me). So thought wouldn't be a cause per se, but something else might.

I reiterate

so that cause has nothing to do with any movement of anything , because it is a concept , a thought concept , only

no matter how deep you go into this , on anything , affect and effect explains all matter of change

I understand how affect is to effect, but could you please articulate this idea of cause being a concept. Can it be understood in a physical world or is it intangible?

inotherwords " the cause " is just another way of describing affect > an action upon things that leads to an effect

@north,

Obviously cause (as well as effect) exists only as thoughts. Do you ever SEE a cause (or an effect)? No. You THINK it (them) in an effort to have an explanation that promotes prediction and control.

I disagree

affect is not a thought , the affect is observationable , which leads to effect of the affect of a particular action by objects

so the affect is the replacement for what we think of as " cause "

the consequences of the effect of two or more objects interacting , in the micro and macro

it ends up being a circular consequence really

effect , leads to affect > which leads to effect , which leads affect and so on
