"causality" is a term from physics and not remotely appropriate here. it is the complete inverse of what the memory model achieves. we are not measuring nor inferring causality. it's not the standard terminology and it's actively false https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causality#Geometric_Significance
Thus, the notion of causality is metaphysically prior to the notions of time and space.
"metaphysically prior". define your notion of notion bro
In practical terms, this is because use of the relation of causality is necessary for the interpretation of empirical experiments.
a sentence that must be interpreted in the reverse order to parsing it
Interpretation of experiments is needed to establish the physical and geometrical notions of time and space.
i think this logic actually works out over three sentences so props to the elite troll out there o7
