Abstract: 
Mental space with the functional relationship of causation between substantial participants is constituted by two participants: by causant and causate. The causant is the acting substance experiencing the action of causate. This functional relationship in the invariant representation of respective propositional nominants is formed as bi- argument propositional syntagma. The role of causant in the invariant is played by the name of personal substance (person or fauna representative), as a causate – the name of material substance.

Keywords:  causation, propositional nominant, typical event, event concept. invariant
