based on the physical outcomes of causality. In a deterministic
system, every action, or cause, produces a reaction, or effect,
and every reaction, in turn, becomes the cause of subsequent
reactions. The totality of these cascading events can
theoretically show exactly how the system will exist at any
moment in time. To understand this concept, start with a fairly

up in a row with each domino less than a domino's length away
from its neighbors, impervious to external environment
influences. Once the first domino has toppled, the third domino
will topple because the second will topple upon being contacted
by the first domino. This could feasibly be shown by a scientist
