Causality is the chain of events that comprises a conventional story. Event causes event two causes event three and so on.
Narrative compression is frequently used in advertisements, which by nature generally must be very quick. It involves distilling a product to a small handful of facts, a brief description, or a certain emotion. It is meant to make the product memorable.

Non-narrative structure involves expressing an idea without telling a conventional "story." Thus, absent are concepts such as cause/effect relationships, chronology, and plot, though not always all of them. Two examples are the 1929 Soviet film Man with a Movie Camera, directed by Dziga Vertov, which shows a various Soviet citizens going about their daily lives, as well as scenes of machinery and industry -- Vertov is credited with inventing or popularizing many now common cinematic camera rechniques-- as well as Lydia Davis short story "Examples of Confusion," which, as the title suggests, is a collection of short scenes within the narrator's life where she has felt confused or out of place.
