Cause & Effect
Events are linked by law, even when the link is unseen.
Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause. Nothing occurs by chance, though the chain may be hidden. There are many planes of causation, from the coarse to the subtle, yet each is bound to law. The ignorant are carried by the chain; the instructed learn to read it and to move within it. Cause and effect is not merely linear, but layered, with smaller causes nested within greater causes. In geometry, each line is a consequence of a prior measure, each intersection the record of a decision. The principle teaches responsibility and clear intent, for every act, however small, becomes a seed of consequence. To understand causation is to understand the architecture of sequence.
