Maybe it's just apophenia
Just got out of History class and my mind jumped to my fishbowl cosmology, which is more of a discussion of the possible and the actual. The divine is usually attributed the former, the personal the latter. The idea is that being part of the actual is like being in a glass globe set in the larger set of possibilities. You can see out through the glass into possibilities but you're still behind the glass as part of the actual. They can light your way, but that is the extent of possibility. Even if the divine permeates the entire space, it still leaves part of it outside, to be only seen.
There was another idea branched off that with possibility existing only as space while the globe has both space and substance (since to move requires something to push off from) but that was more related to the thought experiment of trying to distinguish differences in a snowstorm.
Anyways, that's just the thoughts from today leading up to now, but the point I'm wondering is if there are parallels between individuals vs groups and smallest bits of matter vs largest clumps of matter? Are individuals much more prone to be wild cards like quantum effects, compared to a groupthink or herd mentality in groups like large planetary bodies causing deep gravity wells?
