5-Physics-Causation

causation in physics

Causes {cause, physics} {causation, physics} change particles or particle spatial relations. Causes are forces. Cause precedes effect. Mind activities are indirect causes. Causes are desired states. Human thought has purposes. Physical forces put thoughts into action.

microcausality

Space-like separated fields either commute or anticommute {microcausality}, because otherwise effects travel faster than light speed.

third arrow strategy

Previous causes require later effects. Perhaps, physical-law asymmetry can mediate causal temporal asymmetry {third arrow strategy, causation}. However, physical laws have no asymmetry that can mediate temporal asymmetry.
