This was a really interesting discussion....It sounded like the philosophy of Sport conversation was going to be fascinating. I too have often wondered what the point was? ha

Hello friend. New reader of your work. Very insightful. I have not come across it, and it did not come up in this interview, but I am curious: do you think it is possible that a power can change its own effect? I can see how a power can be disposed towards a certain outcome, but I wonder, even if extremely rare, can this disposition be changed? And not only that, but can it be changed without any mutual manifestation partner altering it? I understand powers can be “multi-tracked,” but can a power alter its own manifestation into something else? That is to say, can a power change what it can do all on its own? I apologize for repeating the same thing over, but I’m not sure how else to ask the question I’m trying to get an answer for. Thank you so much in advance if I get a reply. Cheers!

@@M_K171 No, I don't think so since the identity of the power is determined by its effect. Of course, there can be change but that would be a case of one power being replaced by another, different power.
