Procatarctic

Word to describe a type of thought process used by Clement of Alexandria. "Procatarctic causes being removed, the effect remains. But a Synectic cause is that, which being present, the effect remains, and being removed, the effect is removed....The Synectic is also called by the synonymous _expression "perfect in itself". Since it is of itself sufficient to produce the effect". (See Synectic.)
