<<<would not the effect, caused from outside, appear to be without a mechanism from our standpoint?

"Cause and effect are local phenominia. By that I mean that you can't have a cause that just skips in with no apparent pathway." (Bolding mine)

Looks like we're saying the same thing.

"The mechanism of the cause would be at least as visible as the effect."

I think you are over reaching on this point. It may be that the mechanism would not be apparent at all, or at least it may be beyond our ability to observe.

I have to go to work. Have a good passover.
