Causality has a definition within a given linguistic ontology. Language is used to describe events including that of physical and quantum cosmology. The associations that people make about given referent-objects have value within a particular lexicon and sometime correspond to observable events with varying degrees of accuracy. It is somewhat of a convention that causation describes a relation between events in time as well perhaps as responsibility or effect of force that one object has upon another or one event has upon another.
Logicians have noted the various forms of abstract relations in symbolic logic that might be formalized i.e. if a then b yet not a and b and c. and that reflects a grammar of cause and effect without a necessity of a time order in some cases-yet requisite of a time order existing in others. The second law of thermodynamics with order breaking down or flowing into disorder might be regard as a non-reversible event causality. One might say that disorder arises because it requires less energy than increasing order. Thus one gets the Boyle's law sort of diffusion of particles in a gas evenly.It might be a convention that one might define a given phase of a system as being caused by the former state-yet it seems reasonable to. It is perhaps a problem of language and meaning more than a physical description finding some greater Platonic realist facticity to find.
Causality in quantum objects is another criterion of language and language conventions that might confuse certain concepts-especially reinforcing rather popular yet vague concepts such as causality. It is said that quantum behavior cannot be accurately described in ordinary language anyway-maybe that is so-I am neither a mathematician nor physicist and consider the topics as a result of general reading of ideas explained generally by physicist. Even so the philosophical criterion of cause and effect has been elaborated by many philosophers including David Hume.
Today cosmologists have presented a few overlapping field concepts about which one may have some difficulty harmonizing. There is the known standard model of physics much less string theories, and there is the steady-state Universe of phenomena that is in some way perhaps an entanglement of quantum particles, and that field is believed to exist within a Higgs field. That Higgs field and the entangled particles within it that is following the laws of thermodynamics is believed to have had an origin at a singularity or membrane at time=0, and yet the idea of quantum uncertainty and quantum super-positioning would seem to support a different idea of a quantum cloud and virtual field that precedes the Higgs or is maybe the same thing wherein the ordered process and functional causes of antecedent-consequent events and relationships is ordered and flowing generally toward disorder. That is all fine and simple enough. Yet one wonders why a singularity would form and attract enough virtual particles to one place to form it.
It seems as if the uncertainty of the field that lets virtual particles emerge into the Universe for an instant has definite rules of order though it is a different order. Uncertainty does not imply chaos or disorder nor even a negation of a deterministic overall Universe. The energy of the Universe became mass in lower energy phases, yet the phases of energy such as comprise quarks or the strong force between quarks appear in logical and even necessary forms. I would think that Cantor and Godel's set theory ideas indicate that infinity is the ponderous fact about energy and the forms it takes more so than causality and even uncertainty. Various systems and protocols of energy exist in complex systems along a phenomenally deterministic river of events-and the complexity and elegance of those events made of a myriad of configurations of energy locked into mass are what humans are given to contemplate.
Leibniz speculated about spiritual monads being the building blocks of mass or energy at the fundamental level. One dimensional monads are somewhat like one-dimensional branes that might form up strings. Quantum cosmologists have the good fortune to be able to contemplate such things. Christians are lucky enough to thanks God for issuing the Universe of energy in various forms with the Word in the beginning.
