A Whitehead is most commonly **Alfred North Whitehead** (1861-1947), a British mathematician and philosopher who fundamentally shaped modern thought. He's famous for developing process philosophy, the idea that reality is made up of constantly changing events and relationships rather than static objects, and for co-writing an influential mathematics textbook called *Principia Mathematica*. His work bridges mathematics, logic, and philosophy, making him important for understanding how we think about everything from physics to metaphysics.
efficient causation(as used in metaphysics)
The idea that one thing directly causes another to happen through action or force—like how pushing a ball makes it roll.
