    It is not the case that If foundational spatiotemporal forms are non-empirical, conceptions of force and hidden causation may likewise have non-sensible origins.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Space and time may be non-empirical but still fundamentally different from causation in their necessity and universality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Inferring that one type of non-empirical concept shares origins with another requires additional justification beyond analogy.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Modern physics treats force as derivative from fields and energy—empirically measurable—undermining non-sensible status.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Kant showed space and time structure experience a priori, not derived from sensation alone.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If spatiotemporal forms are non-empirical cognitive structures, force and causation may share this a priori origin.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.We cannot observe force or causation directly—only constant conjunctions—suggesting non-sensible rational origins.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
