The central problem of novel-writing is causality.
Perceived self-efficacy and beliefs about the locus of outcome causality must be distinguished
Moreover, joint occurrences tend to be better recalled than instances when the effect does not occur. The proneness to remember confirming instances, but to overlook disconfirming ones, further serves to convert, in thought, coincidences into causalities.
The poetic image exists apart from causality.
Each of us can manifest the properties of a field of consciousness that transcends space, time, and linear causality.
But the thought is one thing, the deed is another, and another yet is the image of the deed. The wheel of causality does not roll between them.
Time, space, and causality are only metaphors of knowledge, with which we explain things to ourselves.
As long as the firmament of the You is spread over me, the tempests of causality cower at my heels, and whirl of doom congeals.

I am not aware of any other complex disorder where nearly 75 percent of genetic causality has been identified.
