Regardless of the logic or definition of logic, one must start with a valid premise and causality is not a valid premise. A pattern is just that, no more, no less.
A definition of causality is not proof of causality. An example of causality only shows it follows in that explicit example and it does not necessarily follow that it is true in all cases.
As I stated earlier, for causality to exist, there must be infinite regression or an uncaused cause. Infinite regression is not possible and an uncaused cause invalidates causality.
As far as mathematical causality, quantum physics does not define nor mandate causality. Time travel, which violates causality, is allowed through mathematics. ALL things arise from the quantum world. Nothing can happen without quantum interaction.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
