Again, it depends on the amount of change.
If you divide a problem into a series of smaller probabilities, can you change those?

If you divide a problem into a series of smaller probabilities, can you change those?
<Snipped quote by System>
Depends on the thing being changed. It can be as much as a one-hundred percent change, but for a specific phenomenon, it tends to be about five alterations.
Can you perform changes on as many factors as you'd like?
<Snipped quote by System>
That's a difficult question. I've found that the higher the percentage change, the more difficult it is, for example. Otherwise, it's hard to explain, I suppose.

Control of Existence.
What is the maximum you can change and up to how many times?
<Snipped quote by System>
Right.
<Snipped quote by Disdain>
That is infeasible. Nyarlathotep believes more strongly than anything else that she must win for the sake of all life.
How do you classify your limits?
<Snipped quote by System>
Hmm... Presumably, I could allow victory over lesser opponents that would otherwise be too much. I could help us avoid fights we don't want to fight as well. To be honest, I haven't much considered it, once I found out how dangerous a direct confrontation of the two would be.
Then we need to factor in the limits of that strength.

By preventing their fighting, or in other ways?
<Snipped quote by Disdain>
Giving us a better chance of success in releasing her would be my best use. And unfortunately, while the current chances of Nyarlathotep attacking us if we act before freeing her is low, she is able to change those chances very easily, depending on her whim at the time. However, if we're caught trying to free Azathoth before we succeed, the likelihood of her personally defeating us is very, very high.
In other ways.

I can also influence it, to a large extent. But if we free Azathoth, I will be using my ability to the fullest to prevent their direct confrontation, so do not rely on my ability in your planning.
How far can you influence it in our favor?
<Snipped quote by System>
Correct.

Is reading probability all you can do?
<Snipped quote by System>
From what I understand, it would require conquering Existence ourselves, then re-finding the Mammon Machine, finding whoever was the one to restore the NAN Sector's influence on Existence. All of which are effectively zero in and of themselves.
Then it's not worth considering.
<Snipped quote by System>
If you want the below one percent option, theoretically... If we gained enough of the mess of a System currently in place, we could use the Mechanisms of Existence in conjunction with the Mammon Machine... and we got the Administrator's help... We could trap Nyarlathotep using her own power and simply not free Azathoth. But that's not really an option, it's rather a dream within a dream within a dream.
What would that entail?
