What a curious view of Aristotelian causality!
You completely reject the traditional metaphor of the purpose associated with
building a house?
Formal causes are almost always interpreted in terms of symbolic
representations - symbolic logic, symbolic equations, symbolic plans - images
of human imagination /consciousness.
So you see yourself, as within your consciousness, as the source of 'what
happens' and 'how it happens'! :-) ;-)
Philosophy!
