Physics and Formal Causality

Newtonian Physics can represent the Work involved in throwing a snowball, and in packing the snow into a ball-shape.  But, it cannot recognize the influence of an image of a ball on that packing.  For, that influence is traditionally classified as Formal Causality, a variety of Causality jettisoned by Modern Physics, which is constituted exclusively by Efficient Causality.  Likewise, no process of organization, whether the human founding of a political order, or a bird's construction of a nest, can be adequately represented by that system, a further reminder that its value is Practical--its quantification of motions that facilitates their appropriation for manufacturing instruments, the shaping of which is also beyond its scope.
