[IG] The cosmos and all the patterns within it maybe. We're not in
"control" of much of it, though in the long run, we could have a lot
of influence on what hapens to many of those patterns and through them
the cosmos as a whole. It's not entirely beyond us because there are
so many (a-causal) interactions and influences arising between us and
many of those patterns.
