“It is conceptually wrong to assert that a person makes a causal contribution to an act and its consequences when it is already being caused by others, simply because she fails to do some other act to uncause what is in progress.”

(uncountable)Absence of cause
“Origin, in the last resort, means uncause. If what has taken form acknowledges no continuity, no inheritance, no necessity, then what has taken form, again in the extremest meaning, is a beginning.”
“If uncause can enter the business of decision and liberate it from determinacy, its natural locus, we may think, is the origination of the sequels, in a sense more absolute than the mere putting together of ingredients.”
