Causation, Mind, and Psionics

[Angrboda]

Material cause traditonally means indefinite primal matter - below quarks, below strings, all the way down at the bottom. I think, the best modern equivelent is "stuff", but that doesn't capture the idea of its infinite potency.

I'm not knowledgable about the physics, so insert the appropriate qualifiers, but from what I understand, given our current understanding, the notion of something beneath it all essentially implies a local hidden variable theory, which consensus suggests is highly implausible. Resting any framework on an understanding that implies it seems rather ill-conceived. (Apologies if my understanding of the matter is incorrect or out-of-date.)
