Does anyone know of a simple way to explain the term \"Epiphenomenal \"
I realize that this is a ridiculously lame post (plus risky since [censored] is posting right now), but I figured maybe since it's 345 in the morning the mods can be lenient (maybe not, oh well). I'd post it in a different forum, but 63 members are looking at this one right now, n i figure that means theres a good chance of getting a response...
ps- i researched it a lil, but the definitions i found suck big time. |

Why not say something like...something that results from a certain condition, but is not caused by said condition.
In case "is a result of" and "is caused by" mean the same thing, just say something regarding causality. Or necessary but not sufficient (this may be wrong too though, lolz) |

I think that's on the right track. This shmuck writer is a great writer, but she is unnecessarily complicated sometimes. Lyn Hejinian for those who know of her.
