Hi,

  That is cause-effect are
> not chains.  They're not total orders.  They're not linear or
> sequential.  Every effect has multiple (usually a dense infinity)
> causes.  And every cause has multiple (usually a dense infinity) of
> effects.  And the causes and effects are inextricably intertwined.

But orderability of events follows from Special Relativity. How do you
reconcile that?

I am very skeptical of all attempts to dilute the concept of causality
(same (skepticism) goes for retrocausality (see other thread), which
seems to inspire people but which has never been convincingly shown to
exist).

Extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence.

Regards,
G?nther
