Abstract

Perhaps beginning of time is the common end of many causal paths and that temporal phenomena compete for somehow finding their way towards one of the beginning of the casual paths. Each casual path starts from a distinct set of parts but they all converge to the same whole at the end of their path. Such a pre-temporal causation is constitution of a whole by the sets. The temporal is de-constitution, the reverse direction, but implicates a second mechanism of causation which enables a pre-temporal effect to somehow cause its pre-temporal cause. Time moves towards its origin.
