A Cause (n.) is something we have no experience of; we derived the whole concept from the conviction that we are causes when the arm moves, misreading a muscular feeling of tension as the cause.
A Cause (n.) is invented after the schema of the effect, which we already know; we can never predict of anything what it will effect.
A Cause (n.) and effect as two successive states is false: the first has nothing to effect, the second has been effected by nothing — there is only a struggle from which the parties emerge with new quanta of power.
A Cause (n.) is projected backwards after the fact: the effect arrives, is processed, and only then is a cause invented and the event let into consciousness — we constantly reverse the order of what happens.
A Cause (n.) is something we have absolutely no experience of — we got the concept from the conviction that we are a cause, that our will moves the arm, and that is an error.
A Cause (n.) is invented according to the schema of the effect, which is familiar — conversely, we cannot predict of any thing what it will effect.
