It dictated that a cure consists in finding and manipulating a mechanism external to or within an independent entity. He repairs the ligament and causes it to function properly again. Spots on the lungs are caused by a tubercular microbe.
Antibiotics cause the microbe to die.
Under many circumstances such an approach yields satisfying results. Cancer, the common cold, and AIDS challenge the simple causal model. We have identified the cause and effect of these illnesses, but this knowledge does not lead to a cure. To justify continued research with the old, causal model, we say that there are many forms of cancer, strains of colds, and multiple, mutated variations of the AIDS virus. If we keep trying, we tell ourselves, we will find the mechanism that resides within these microbes.
