Vaisesika

The Six Systems of Hinduism include a school {Vaisesika} about atomistic cosmology. All substances, immediate qualities, universals, absences, movements, associations, differences, and inherences are atoms. All knowable things have atoms. All world atoms are fleeting and changing. Soul is not in time or space and so is eternal.

cause and effect

Cause makes something new emerge from itself.

Vaisesika depends on Vaisesika-sutra of Kanada.
