But our own research indicates that causality operates in a completely different manner, in which the attractor pattern complex “ABC” splits through its “operants” and is expressed as the seeming sequence “A, then B, then C” of perception. From this diagram we see that the source (ABC), which is unobservable, results in the visible sequence A→B→C,
