Belief in fate

While learning Simplish (basic English) we have tried to give A.s.a. an understanding of the concept of cause and effect. When some pattern "A" is seen some pattern "B" is expected/predicted.* When this occurs the word/symbol "cause" is simultaneously activated. On the basis of there being strong evidence for "causality" A.s.a. then acquires and uses a concept of  "fate." ** Of course none of  A.s.a.'s beliefs are absolute. At any level in the concept hierarchy the recorded patterns are more or less probable.

* "A" and "B"  may be accompanied/labeled with words/names or may be raw/bare/subsymbolic patterns. 

** Tries to apply (looks for, expects) causality and its predictions everywhere, with "A" and "B" being long sequences.
