This research note sets out a multi‐faceted view of causality referred to as the structure‐organization‐process (SOP) model of change. The SOP model is an ontological schema that can be utilized wherever order can be found. A case study on the periodic table and the structure of DNA provide the first insight that the model might be a general organizing principle. More case studies are required to evaluate the applicability of the SOP model. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
