Sorkin's causet mechanism is generalized to include energy exchange between causet elements and conventional vacuum fluctuations to the inflationary epoch. In this, the dark energy of the adiabatic era is the fluctuating remnant of inflation. The mechanism is also applicable to black hole evaporation.
