We can't even count them, let alone raise them to a particular power or count the probabilities of them intermingling with each other.
But if you could somehow count all the causes in the universe, then figure out the possibilities by the order they occurred and you had the tools to change their order and manipulate them, then I have to say congratulation for being the number one opponent of chaos, but I do not recommend provoking it.
