if true or as near as truth can get, then causality has no particular instance of cause and no absolute effect. I am not going to get to much into the science because I can’t, but in short, we arrive at things like wave particle duality, strings and strange action at distance.
If we metaphorically see string theory as if there is a sheet of zero energy, then that if you create a bump in that, then you have compressed some of that nothing, so now it has a value, and amount/ gathering of energy.
I am going to take a spiritual/mind look at it; what does it mean for us if the same principle is true about us!
It means one can gather and form out of nothing, or the mind can act exactly the same as the physics. It would have to if it to be so, such that the mind and body are melded in a foetus, given that is, that this mind of ours is something.
I would propose that the structure of the principle here is universal; all things that ‘are’, arise from nothing. There is a ‘force’ which I would propose is mind itself, in an environment which reacts; physically and spiritually/of mind. So the environment ‘it’ [the given thing, like mind or energy] is in [within this proposed principle], has the scaffolding for becoming a thing and the potentiality to do something, by virtue of the principle. The principle itself exists because the structure exists, it simply is what reality is; an almost nothingness and every possible kind of somethingness. Reality simply has to be like what it is, it cannot be nothingness and nothing else. it must be >everything< and fundamentally nothing cannot be something other than itself.
