Conclusion

This essay has formulated a general theory of causality along with elements of its critical discussion. It has not drawn a new (metaphysical) picture of the cosmos that answers the question of how events affect each other causally; and there might be no general answer to this question because different kinds of events interfere differently; but the universal character of the theory proposed here facilitates its critical discussion. A touchstone for every theory of causality is the mind-body problem. How does potentialism transform this problem? Answering this question is beyond the scope of this essay. 3
