23855	Creation produced a network or web of determinations [Weil]
	Full Idea: What is sovereign in this world is determinateness, limit. Eternal Wisdom imprisons this universe in a network, a web of determinations.
	From: Simone Weil (The Need for Roots [1943], III 'Growth')
	A reaction: Love this, because I take 'determination' to be the defining relationship in ontology. It covers both physical causation and abstract necessities.
