These processes shape the tapestry of the universe as it is woven by That which some refer to as chance, others as the force that makes existence possible, some as Ultimate Being. Some see this Enabler as the relationship between chance and possibility. This Relationship enables the human being to participate in the structuring of individual and social existence. It also enables human involvement with the metaphysical relationships that make individual and social activity possible. Human individual and social activity, in turn, make possible the actualisation of particular metaphysical relations.

The engagement in individual and social existence and their metaphysical relationships enables the human being to operate as an active agent in constituting the ground of being. The actualisation of the ground of being through human action is an ontological activity that complements the nature of this Ground as constitutive of existence. In this aspect of its character, it predates and is independent of humanity. The ground of being can be understood, therefore, to be both constituted by and constitutive of existence.
