CAUSALITY EVENT CHAIN (1st draft of a concept)

Causality Event Chains are the chains of logic and or events that explain most scenarios. There are many areas of life that commonly use a series of three words to describe the scenario but all pretty much link together. Those are “Why, How, What”.

The reason this is termed Causality Event Chain is because it defines the events chained together that are the cause of a scenarios stages from start to finish.

These chains can be chained together and often are to describe the ripple effects caused from the beginning of a series of events from any particular point in that series of events which could be an outcome which is the end of that series.

Many times when you move from the why to the what, the what becomes the why for the next step in the series. The scope window is just moved.

There are various perspectives in which you can look at an event chain.

1) Observation chains – The order that a scenario is observed going from one point in time to a point in time before it in the chain of events. This builds the chronological causality event chain.
2) Chronological chains – The actual order from start to finish in a chain of events in chronological order.
3) Priority and Need chains – These causality event chains are based on the order in what is important to most people in those scenarios. Sometimes you don’t even get to the end of the causality event chain because people are satisfied enough to not care so much.

A good example is the rules and standards causality event chain where most people only care what the rule or standard is because they know how to accomplish following those standards or rules. Other people want to know how to accomplish following the standards or rules because they don’t know how or want to know the best way to go about it. Other people want to know why those standards or rules exist to know if they want to even follow them at all and if they should notify someone that those standards or rules are not valid enough to follow.

• Causality Event Chain – This is a chain of items that are temporal and exist within the physical space. (e.g. Why -> How -> What)
• Conceptual Event Chain – This is a chain of items that are conceptual and exist within the conceptual space. (e.g. Function -> Fit -> Form)

EXAMPLE SCENARIOS

1st Example – Causality Event Chain

• (Why) Intent/Motive/Purpose
• (How) Method/Action/Mean
• (What) Outcome/Consequence/End

2nd Example – English Class

Who, “What”, Where, When, “Why”, “How”

• (Why) uses Who, Where, When
• (How) uses Who, Where, When
• (What) uses Who, Where, When

3rd Example – Events

• (What) What happened?
• (Why) Why did that happen?
• (How) How did that happen?

4th Example – Decisions and Morality

• (Why) Intent/Motivation
• (How) Method/Mean/Action
• (What) Outcome/Ends

5th Example – Criminology

• (Why) Motive
• (How) Opportunity
• (What) Crime

6th Example – Marketing Ideas or Things

• (Why) Motive / Intention
• (What) What the thing is that fulfills the why
• (How) People generally don’t care how a what is done. Just enough to show it can do the what and highlight special “hows”.

7th Example – Standards and Rules

• (What) Do this/ This is what we want
• (How (In what way + By What Means)) Use this format/Use info from X – Rarely actual instructions on how to accomplish. Formats and further rules can be assumed as the “what”.
• (Why) Why the rules exist tends to help people but rarely is expressed.

8th Example – Engineering

All parts and assemblies have a set of traits that go with them in engineering. They are Form, Fit, and Function.

• (Why) Function – Intended functions to accomplish end.
• (How) Fit – How the solution fits into the system it exists in.
• (What) Form – The outcome form of the function that fits into the system.

9th Example – Evolution

Observation Extrapolation

• (What) Outcome (form-fit-function)
• (How) Process of impact to outcome
• (Why) Scenario/Event

Chronological Extrapolation

• (Why) Scenario/Event
• (How) Process of impact to outcome
• (What) Outcome (form-fit-function)

NOTES:

Motivation -> Action -> Outcome

Decision -> Action -> Outcome

Conclusion (previous) -> Hypothesis -> Experiment

Objective -> Subjective -> Predictive

Goal -> Action -> Plan
Plan -> Action -> Goal

Cause 1 -> Cause 2 -> Effect

Types of chains: Chronological Forward, Chronological Backward, intangible, tangible

Everything a person being done is an illusion created through a threshold problem. Selfishness is something you do when the goal of your actions is for yourself vs someone other than yourself. It goes along with the ulterior motives scenario. The scenario in which the motivation for your action for the outcome exists below the advertised motives. HOWEVER it only becomes a selfish goal if you would not do the action without that ulterior motive.

Why -> How -> What
Why is about ‘for what reasons’?
More specifically:
Why – structure form
How – action form
What – outcome form

Causes -> Effects
Inputs -> Outputs
Premises -> Conclusions
Actions -> Outcomes
Beeps -> Boops

Cue -> Routine -> Reward

Natural Why, How, Why Process

Why (concrete) -> How (concrete) -> What (concrete)

Artificial Why, How, Why Process

Why [What -> How] (abstract) -> How (concrete) -> What (concrete)
