And grosso modo there will be as many notion of causality that there are possible modal logic. "Causality", like matter, consciousness, etc. are higher order notions. Causality is as different from "material implication" that B(p -> q) is different from "p -> q", for many possible logical systems. You still want it both ways: keeping comp and primary material reality, but I have already argued in detail that this cannot work in any reasonable way. Postulating "matter" cannot explain appearance of matter (cf UDA, but we are in a loop, I think).
