Which is a nonsensical concept because the future is what happens next and the past is what has already happened. If A came first and A causes B then B cannot cause A in the same sense, because B's ultimate cause is A if A truly came first.
It may not be true, but it's not non-sensensical. You're confusing unidirectionality of time for the definition of cause. A cause precedes an effect, by definition..but that doesn't mean that it must precede it in-time, only in it's chain of sufficiency or necessity.
The MP-MT transposition, a rule of the system we use to determine whether or not something is sensible, implicitly invokes retrocausality any time we try to form a conditional statement regarding orthodox cause in-time.
Food for thought and fun with logic.
