Certain theoretical lab conditions may entirely block his ability.

I'm not seeing what we can do with that. When we were trying to fix Spirit, X put out a massive volley of something or other to fix all the connections, but one small change ruined the whole effort in one blow.

@Balance

If all is monitored, the source of said changes may be detected. It should be rather easy. There are other benefits, however.

Yaaaaay

@Heroic

But yeah, as a general rule, people are jerks.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Right.
-Ruby- That makes sense.

@Balance

Therefore?

Like what?

@Balance

When the output is altered, the input must be altered in the same way. If a change is observed that results in a larger or smaller differentiation than the state prior, then he must, under all circumstances, have altered his input accordingly.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

He can only change so much?

@Balance

There is more to it.

I've got three that I am particularly close to. Two that went to the game.
The one I mentioned above did that after telling me that it'd be cool if went to the game and all sat together as friends, which is a big influence as to why I went. After going to sit by herself, and my one friend asking her to come down and join us, she kept saying no.
The other that went to the game is currently in a stage where he is transitioning into a relationship, I think, so I was basically a third wheel the whole time.
A third friend that didn't go still shocked the heck out of me. He's getting friendly with a girl that happens to be friend #2's ex, who is only talking to friend #3 to get back at friend #2 because, yes, she is that kind of person. No matter who tells him how crazy the girl is and that he shouldn't be around her, he shuts them out completely. The girl continues to virtually harass friend #2 on the regular, to the point that she is trying to destroy his friendships. So friend #3 has started to become a (rather good) wearer of two faces, as he has started to cuss people out who diss the girl and even tell people that the majority of people at the church's youth group don't like various people to their faces. It's disgusting. I don't know what's happening.

@Heroic

My word, IRL drama. That sounds horrible.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

-Ruby- Of course.

@Balance

Because he is certainly providing input, and this input must also certainly fall within the realm of possibility, there is a very rigid limit to ability. In light of a secondary aspect of the Axiom of Causality, the fact that the magnitude of an effect is proportional to the magnitude of the cause, what may be derived?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

-Ruby- Ah, right. So there's some cause.

@Balance

Yes. And this cause must fall within the realm of natural law, correct?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

-Ruby- I suppose? Must there be?

@Balance

The Law of Causation states that there must be.
