When we talk about a “cause” or "result"

Some thinkers restrict their observation to these most common cases and they think about the cause and effect as if they were well individualized. But things are complex in nature and forces and resistances are permanently ap­plied, which are easily destabilized. Also, a body is not simply one since it is constituted of a lot of connected parts, either we see it regarding its exter­nal environment or we see it as a complex thing and regarding its interior. For a multitude of results, many other things mediate and may not be stable. The result is not determined solely by an external cause. That is, the result does not depend entirely on what the cause is and how it works. It depends and is determined even by what the thing is on which the action takes place and how it is affected until the final result is produced. That is, it depends on the composition of the thing upon which the cause acts, its form or structure and how its parts are connected to each other. For example, we press a switch to turn on the light because a switch already exists and is constructed and connected in such a way that we can push it in a certain way and pro­duce the expected result. The cause exists because it can affect an environ­ment and because some results from other causes already exist and work to­gether. One or more results are produced because certain reactions and changes are caused to the recipient of the action and under certain condi­tions. Action has some recipient. Causes do not produce results irrespective of the recipient of the action. In different recipients the results are not the same. If the causes and actions work together with the recipient of the action then neither the actions nor the causes are easily separated from the results. If the time of interaction is shorter then the distinction becomes more diffi­cult. Things, which already exist and are the way they are, receive actions in some of the many possible ways. The boundaries of things, the way they are made, their shape, structure and materials, their volume and density, the po­sition and sequence between their different parts, their fields, etc, predeter­mine how they can be affected. The things that already exist predetermine which actions can be implemented, in which way, for how long, how fast, with how much force, at what moment etc. Therefore, the results are not ex­plained and not produced exclusively by the actions that precede and we dis­tinguish them clearly as external and as causes. The things, which already exist and receive the actions, contribute necessarily to the result. These things, which mediate and receive the actions, exist as future to their causes. Prior to action, a result is already realized, which can receive action from other causes. This logical condition for the occurrence of the cause is the principle of utility (or contribution) and feasibility. We mean "feasibility" in the broadest concept, that things are useful and specify or predetermine how many and what results can be caused.

It is not just the causes that will bring the results, but so it seems when many things have similarities. When things have similarities in their form and structure, then there are likely to be many similar ways of reacting as recipients of a same action, and then joint results are produced. With the emergence of life, the result can be chosen and then utility is revealed as feasibility. This is, because the information is assessed and the body reacts and adapts to produce the desired effect and to avoid the unwanted. The ac­tion is regulated and directed to preserve life and achieve balance. Especial­ly, the result is prepared theoretically, imaginatively and abstractly by hu­man thought, is predicted with knowledge and experience and thus is select­ed or rejected.
