Something that is an effect but is not a cause. An example is consciousness — it emerges from our brain's structure and activity, but it doesn't directly cause anything. By cause, more specifically it doesn't end up affecting our physical tissue and neurotransmitters. [^1] These sound like emergence, as mentioned in [[Cognition and reality share the same grammar]]? But it's a one-way affect, unlike something more reciprocal. # References [^1]: [[After Socrates Episode 12 - Generative Grammar Dr. John Vervaeke#^6zbw0z]]
