The quantity of elements, I call the "causal power", whereas the quantity plus the definitive identity of all the elements, I call the "causal structure".
Now we're done with the foundational teaching. I've come to realize, and I hope at least some of you will understand what I mean, that if you permute these elements into possible sets of elements of cause, you get a series of causal structures (by the above definition), but a very interesting feature arises out of these permutations. Because if these elements of cause had a reference into reality, into time and place and physical reality, you would eventually be able to land at a series of causal structures that form a process in time detailing how things go from one set of circumstance (one causal structure) to another, and in so doing, you would be able to eventually, by all likelihood, to land at cycles, and the more you permute, the more dependent cycles you should be able to find.
By cycle, I mean a process where you start and end in a way that can happen all over again, and by dependable, I mean that whatever signifies the occurrence of the cycle, becomes more dependable, and that the occurrence of the cycle can be predicted often enough that it has relevance. These cycles will essentially give invaluable knowledge into the absolute most foundational parts of the universe, both at a physical and a metaphysical level. The kind of insights you'd get could potentially have enormous benefits to the wealth of knowledge of humankind.
Particularly, these cycles are becoming a central theme to my Need Science project, and study of objects of need, as causal structures are basically identical to objects of need, and the study of needs becomes the study of the life-cycles and compositions of "cause".
