the receipt point of a flow (thought, energy or action). For example: If one considers a river flowing to the sea, the place where it began would be the source-point or cause, and the place where it went into the sea would be the effect-point, and the sea would be the effect of the river. A manfiring a gun is cause; a man receiving a bullet is effect.—Art Book Glossary (Appr. 15 Mar. 91)
