mutual influence
Two-way causal exchange
Mutual influence is the effect two or more things have on each other—not one-way causation but reciprocal shaping.
The term appears often in academic and analytical contexts: The mutual influence between language and thought has long interested philosophers.
Trade relations, cultural exchange, and personal relationships all exhibit mutual influence when each party affects the other.
