Would determinism mandate a physical cause-effect to cognition? I say this because, as a schizophrenic who has been in a scan-study, there are no markers, physically, that correlate when I am in my fantasy realms. It is unlike dreaming where your brain will be more active in areas such as where you process vision, sound, and even the prefrontal cortex. The activity in my brain is steady-state (relatively, at rest, but awake) between times where I sense that I am in another reality. Does determinism have a cause-effect explanation for this?
Or, as I'm thinking about it, does determinism say that my life's events lead me to the condition? ...but then, when I go in and out is random, and with no marker, so how does that hold?
Or rather, is determinism just a falsification theory of predeterminism in that:
Present, as effect of Past, defines Future as effect from Present and Past.
vs
Past, Present, and Future, as determined by a definition outside of time?
