The notion of causality is subject to a fourfold factoring: physical causality or the evolution of a dynamic system in time under deterministic rules; stimulus and response or the behaviour of vegetative life; goal-seeking motivation or behaviour of independently mobile creatures; and finally reasoned action, that is action responding to a comparative modeling of possible motives and outcomes. These are also levels of 'emergence'. Considering actions of all kinds as computations we might say that each level represents a higher Turing degree (in the sense of Degree Theory), that is it takes as primitive the outcomes of all computations of a complete class of computations at the lower level. What appears as the elusive phenomenon of freedom (of will) is the projection of the Turing 'jump'. Thus the current gropings towards the next level in trying to subsume the outcomes of all possible narrative frames, or motivations at the 'human' level. This would present an inceptional take on what is often seen as a collapse or ending of meanings, or a 'meaning crisis'.
