Attack of the Theocrats!
Let's see if we can parse this wilfully obscurantist arsewash, shall we? As far as I can determine it seems to be attempting to communicate something close to the following:
"Every incident is non-causal because... well, it is. This requires that preconditions can be overruled by imaginary ones. Therefore, as well as being causally-derived, incidents are also affected by imaginary possibilities. The nature of the actual incident isn't clear until it happens."
This, of course, is a classic example of "Quantum Bullshitting". The idiot writing this drivel is dancing around the idea of collapsing probability waves without offering the slightest evidence or justification for doing so. It is the purest quintessence of wank.
