by JLS
for the GC

Grice's initial (Democritean) stage then is

'transeunt' (i.e. emanent) causation.


c.1625; from Latin trānseunt-, transiens (“passing beyond”), present participle of trānseō (“to go over, cross”); from trans- (“across, on the far side, beyond”) and eō (“to go, walk, march”); see transient.

(philosophy, of a mental act) Emanant; producing an effect outside of the mind. Compare immanent.

(philosophy) Passing out or operating beyond itself; transitive; opposed to immanent (transient, OED def. 2)
