VI 106
Cause/Disposition/Quine: cause is not intensional but there is a problem: bringing nested sentences into play that are no longer dissolved by spelling. Instead of causality we assume today constant correlations and instead of dispositions one can speak also of symptoms (of fragility) - (symptom /(s): only if it is broken.)
V 19
Cause/Regularity/QuineVsHume: Problem: one can also use the two single classes consisting of a and b for regularity. Then the fallacy post hoc ergo propter hoc is reached. See >Causality/Hume.
Dispositions: there is the same problem here.
V 20/21
Def Cause/Quine: lastly, there is the influence of forces on particles which is energy transmission. See Causality/Vollmer.
V 22
Cause/Quine: the interest in partial causes is remarkably independent of the share of energy transfer. For example, we have weak sound waves during communication and strong sound waves during a shot.
V 23
Everyday language: "because" does not speak at all of energy transfer, but is also applied to logical premises, purposes and dispositions.
Disposition: is therefore often a better term than causality. >Dispositions/Quine.
