first cause + (effect which is also a cause) + (effect which is also a cause) + (effect which is also a cause) + (effect which is also a cause) = (object which is both an effect and also a cause)
Yes I agree with this as an explanation of causality. I do not disagree that an effect can be a cause. In fact, I think we can say that of everything that happens after the first cause.
one necessarily and inevitably leads to the next
I understand the "necessarily" as in whatever the causes effectuates is necessary by virtue of the cause. That I agree with.
But to say that "This particuler effect is what is necessary" is what I do not agree with. There can be different types of causes, and a cause can cause differently. It is not determined (i.e. necessary) until it actually causes in the moment of causation.
I understand the "inevitably" simply as "if a cause effectutes, its effect is inevitable" This I agree with. But to say "This particuler effect is inevitable" I disagree because there can be different types of causes involved and every effect is determined by its cause. Not to mention other causes can interfere.
Every Cause is indeterminate until the actual moment of causation.
An effect is an effect and only an effect until the moment it is causing.
