[MD] Quick one: causation

[Ian Glendinning]

Chris, Why can't it ?

Because saying "A causes B" as some explanation of a process of
physical causation between objects A and B only makes sense when
thinking of A, B and the process "C" as discrete objects. Good common
sense SOMist short-hand, but full of traps if A, B and C have more
complex inter-relations.

(I'd recommend Paul Turner on "as if" / "dependent arising" causation.)

Ian
