Abstract

The paper offers a new model in which the effect may precede its cause. To substantiate it, the author employs various tools of logical and physical analysis such as the concepts of ideal worlds, of imaginary time, of an imaginary space in which the observer moves at a greater speed than light. The model proposed gives insight into the nature of intuition, enables a non-mystical explanation of the phenomenon of prescience and offers a modified understanding of the nature of self-organizing systems’ attractors. As a result, it also becomes possible to clarify the logic behind the origin of certain moral imperatives, such as “Judge not” and “Envy not”.
