I didn't say anyone had to take it seriously. It is what I personally believe, but f you don't believe it, that is 100% fine by me.
As for your first question.... don't use such big words! Lol. I don't even know what you're asking.
Atemporal frameworks lack time, therefore, the concepts of "before" and "after" are incoherent in such a framework. Causality is concerned with causes and effects, which under our understanding, the former must occur before the latter. Causality is therefore incompatible with atemporal frameworks.
