2.10. Sum of All Causes

Every event in the known universe has a cause. 

For example, a tree falls and kills a girl's cat, which makes her cry:

The wind (the first environmental but invisible cause) blew the tree over. The force of the tree falling (physical and visible cause) killed the cat. The cat being dead (resultant cause) and the girl seeing the dead cat (observational cause) call up emotions (psychological cause) that lead her to cry (behavioral cause). This is a crude example, but the same can go for microbial functions in one's liver or how two people fall in love. 

These causes are different and can be viewed as pure phenomena. We do not have to know any details or interior aspects of how they work or where they are. We only need the basic idea that they are occurring and are linked together inextricably.

This creates a metaphysical dimension around the known universe of 'causes.' An invisible, abstracted layer, outside of our comprehension of time and space, dictating all that occurs.
