Wim,
After reviewing my definitions, I fail to see the merit in your
stated criticism of them.

...which is why I said "what a cause is" before defining causality:
"A cause is an agent which produces or contributes to the
production of an outcome or effect. Causality is the principle
of or relationship between cause and effect. This is close to
a dictionary definition."
