Hmm. Imagine the world as fully deterministic. Then there is no “real causality” to speak of, everything is set in stone, and there is no difference between cause and effect
There’s a difference between strict causal determinism and block universe theory. Under causal determinism, future events have not happened yet,and need to be caused, even though there is is only one way they can turn out. Whereas under the block universe theory , the future is already “there”—ontologically fixed as well as epistemologically fixed.
