What we have under control, what we take under control, what we choose not to control. If the red button with the inscription “do not touch” is touched, then causally we understand why it should not have been touched. But would we have pressed the button if we knew the consequences in advance. Is the unknown controllable or does knowledge come through the attempt to control? The possibility of control comes with the problems of knowing the possible consequences. Having, taking, and choosing not to take control are fundamentally related to knowing and the known. How far does our knowledge and ability to control go? Are there isolated situations where control leads us to the knowledge of a causal whole without going through this causal chain itself, avoiding the risk of going out of control due to the attempt of control? Is complete causal recognition reachable in isolated situations? Our control introduces us to the causal chain, where we become the controlled part and our attempt to control changes our essence.
