                                                               Is the
                                                             movement
                                                            towards the
                                                           future that is

                                                              unknown?

Rationalist Causality
 The rational
theory exists
 before the
chosen action.
  As all the
 changes are                                               Movement
due to human                                              towards the

Formative Causality
  The system
“as a whole” is
    moving
   towards a
  known, pre-
  determined
 final form or
