Sequential occurrence/causation are toy universe, billiard ball stuff. For life, time is the search space for exploits.
@themattsimpson @sarahdoingthing Elementary particles are exceptions. How many problems deal with individual atoms?
@themattsimpson @sarahdoingthing Physicists generally don't worry about causality in popular sense until they're too old to do real physics.
@themattsimpson @sarahdoingthing Many "things" people think of as things, i.e. the As and Bs in "A causes B", aren't.
@themattsimpson @sarahdoingthing There's no causality in, say, a fluid dynamics problem, because there are no *things*.
@themattsimpson @sarahdoingthing Meatier: http://meaningness.com/metablog/how-to-think … cf. particularly around the Feynman quote.
@themattsimpson @sarahdoingthing Correlations that hold up under variation of circumstances. A neighborhood of realities.
@themattsimpson @sarahdoingthing This gets problematic even at the billiard ball level! Consider two billards at rest against each other.
