Well, He's the First Cause, the Prime Mover, the Free Will.
First Cause, and Prime Mover, with or without capital letters, does not properly refer to the end of all causal chains. Causal chains take place in time, but the prime move is eternally the uncaused cause. The uncaused cause (or the Uncaused Cause) is not where the buck stops rolling. The uncaused cause never ceases to rule all that happens in the sense of an algorithm ruling all that a computer does. Uncaused cause functions, not as a one off or long- lasting cause, but as a cause that never is absent and has a continuous function.
That's a nice lil stream of consciousness riff you got started on, B.

Please, continue.
I do try. I might have expressed my idea more capably.
