   What happens if a preponderant originates with a doer?

   • If it originates with the doer, this leads to an unending chain of preponderants, as the occurrence of each preponderant must be preceded by another preponderant. If it does, then such a preponderant must originate either with the doer or with someone or something else, or neither with the doer nor with someone or something else.

   • Still, abandon is such a preponderant idiom that the two terms ought to be distinguished. If it originates outside the doer, then this preponderant is either efficient or it is not. This preponderant, in other words, would rely on some other (efficient) preponderant, which alone would be responsible for bringing the act into existence.
