A result has a cause, a progenitor, an action which forced it to arise.
There is no "result" from doing nothing - anything which follows, occurs because of some other action or impluse. (I am ignoring entropy - although one might argue that it, too, is a force of some kind arising spontaneously. But that leads to a very long philosophical debate which would never detract from my point.)
