I was answering Eray's question "What is this mysterious objectivity in
a way that ordinary things could not be?". He was talking about
mathematical objects. I gave a criteria for defining the objectivity of
mathematical objects. The only cause-effect is the interpretive
behavior of humans *creating* ("causing") groupings of two's and three's
in the world of their interpretation. The noumenal world gets on quite
nicely without those groupings confusing it. They are mere beauty in
our eyes; yet unlike beauty, they are objective ... they do not vary
between person and person ... hence the the mystery.

So the memo was about cause and effect ... it just wasn't where you
expected it to be.
