If taken at face value this suggests that while dynamics is explicitly concerned with causes, kinematic explanations are non-causal. 1For instance, it is not very clear whether there is a particular event that can be explained by the seemingly non-causal explanation involving the 'graph-structure' of Königsberg's bridges. non-causal explanations that are: (a) non-local, by virtue of turning on nonlocal geometrical facts about the space of possible configurations a system Intuitively this strikes me as a purely geometrical, non-causal explanation, exhibiting an asymmetric dependence of α on the curvature of the non-local geometrical features can be causal qua difference-makers. geometry of motion, and explanations that appeal to non-local geometrical the case that all non-causal explanations that thus turn on non-local "geometry of motion" are exclusive to kinematics?	./cache/work_5rzurx4kjjb7viwqn2kte52dma.pdf	./txt/work_5rzurx4kjjb7viwqn2kte52dma.txt
