3) If causes and effects do not meaningfully constrain experience, the universe could look like literally anything from moment to moment, regardless of what it was a moment ago. If that were the case, it is certain that the universe would enter every possible state given enough 'time'- even the state where you are reading a comment on the internet with a memory of sensory perception of a consistent world.
Could something else constrain experience, even if causes and effects didn't?
There is nothing which could have the effect of constraining the universe without causation. It is possible that experience is constrained without a cause for that constraint.
What could possibly have the effect of constraining experience in the general absence of causality?
This is what I was trying to get at.
However, without causation, the constraints on experience (or the fact that experience was constrained) would have no effect.
