causedproduced

The term causedproduced denotes a specific kind of causal relation in which an event or product is both the result of a prior cause and a contributor to subsequent effects. It highlights tight coupling in causal chains and in feedback structures.

The word is a portmanteau of caused and produced, used to draw attention to the dual role in processes where production and causation are interwoven rather than strictly sequential.

In philosophy, systems theory, biology, and economics, causedproduced is used to analyze processes that sustain themselves or propagate effects through a network, often via feedback loops where outputs become triggers for more production.

Examples include chemical reactions where a product serves as a catalyst, producing more of itself or other products; manufacturing lines where produced units provide information or resources that drive further production; ecological or social systems where a product or message expands through causes it initiated.

The term is not widely standardized. Some scholars prefer related phrases such as causal-production coupling or self-propagating causation; usage tends to be context-dependent, aimed at clarifying the interaction between production and causation.
