The Only Difference Between Causation And The Value Is That The Word "cause" Implies Absolute Certainty Whereas The Implied Meaning Of "value" Is One Of Preference. In Classical Science It Was Supposed That The World Always Works In Terms Of Absolute Certainty And That "cause" Is The More Appropriate Word To Describe It. But In Modern Quantum Physics All That Is Changed. Particles "prefer" To Do What They Do. An Individual Particle Is Not Absolutely Committed To One Predictable Behavior. What Appears To Be An Absolute Cause Is Just A Very Consistent Pattern Of Preferences.
