# Systemic Causality The insight that causality, the chain from cause to effect along the time axis, always applies, but must be understood systemically or transdeterministically rather than objectively or deterministically in a universe characterized by *neutral monism*. Effect is the carrot and cause is the stick in all happenings, but as an endlessly complex process where everything in the Universe is participating and affecting everything else.
