EFFECT

Receipt-point and what is received at the receipt-point. See also communication.

the receipt point of a flow (thought, energy or action). For example: If one considers a river flowing to the sea, the place where it began would be the source-point or cause, and the place where it went into the sea would be the effect-point, and the sea would be the effect of the river. A man firing a gun is cause; a man receiving a bullet is effect. See also source-point in this glossary.—Quotes Book Glossary (app. Nov 1990)
