Hmmmm. You can be referring maybe to pre-reflective self-consciousness an idea in philosophy or even like precognition in the field of parapsychology. Causation has been challenging to philosohers like how to try understand things in the world through like cause and effect. However, when trying to explain highly inexplicable things in the world, the theories they came up with don’t fully stand up. This separated different philosophers and no one has really come up with a theory on causation or causality that is error proof.
