conditions.
3. A thing re-merges/ends
4. When the

The English
word ‘thing’ stands for the ancient Pali: dhamma
or Sanskrit: dharma.
A thing
happens as effect (or outcome) of multiple causes. Hence an effect is dependent
on, therefore secondary to them, and is bound to them but does not own
them. In relation to the effect, its causes function as prime or 1st
causes, hence, as whole substrate, have real permanent (i.e. the exist for
longer than their effect) selves (i.e. atta).

1. An effect
happens
2. Caused by
alternate effects.
3. An effect
ends
4. When its
causes end.
5. Or when the effect becomes a cause
1. An effect
happens (momentarily)
2. Caused by
slicing or deciding its on-going causes substrate.
3. An effect
ends
4. When
slicing, deciding end.
1. An effect happens
(momentarily)
2. Caused by multiple
affects.
3. An effect ends
4. Either when the causal
affects end or the effect quantises (decides itself) as affect.

An effect,
therefore as 2nd, happens as whole
affect of prior effects (quantised by the effect) as prime or 1st causes.
An effect
(or any ‘thing’) happens as a momentary stopping or ending of an ongoing
‘causing’ process.
An
effecting process, momentarily ‘decided’, hence quantised, as effect, thereby
being provided with wholeness, completeness, certainty and so on, ends when
the multiple on-going effecting process of which it happens effect are
ended.
OR,
when an effect,
i.e. a decided effecting process, is quantised and in turn functions as a cause (or affect).
In simplest
terms: An effect results from multiple affects. An effect ends its status,
thereby gaining 1st or prime cause status, by become a cause, i.e. an affect.
An effect (i.e. an
effecting process) becomes a cause (i.e. an affect) if and when it is
stopped, decided (hence quantised, i.e. collapsed as a perfect logic unit).
That happens @ random collision with an alternate effecting process. In
short, by means of random collision (or interaction, i.e. between
‘enemies’, i.e. ‘others’), both effecting process become quantised prime
causes, each with a true self (i.e. as a 1st cause, hence with atta
or atma status).
The
whole shebang is guided and controlled by the stick called dukkha (suffering) and the carrot called sukkha (happiness, joy and so on).
The
foregoing was not understood by the Sakya Buddha
