    Key Terms

    Conflates(in argumentation and logic)
    Treats two different things as if they're the same thing, or mixes them up in a way that causes confusion.
    Reflexive identity(contrasted with temporal self-origination)
    When something is identical to itself—like how a thing is always equal to itself. In this context, it's about something being the same as itself, rather than about how it came into existence.
    Temporal self-origination(contrasted with reflexive identity)
    The idea that something created or caused itself to exist over time, like if you somehow brought yourself into being.
    causal production(as used in causality and epistemology)
    When one thing directly causes another thing to happen or come into being.
    ontological priority
