The active arm opens with agency: the attributes of divine doing: power ([§6.7.1](<6.7.1 Power.md>)), causality ([§6.7.2](<6.7.2 Causality.md>)), interaction ([§6.7.3](<6.7.3 Interaction.md>)), and sovereignty ([§6.7.4](<6.7.4 Sovereignty.md>)). Each says that God acts: brings about, causes, engages, and governs.

These are the chapter's clearest carriers of the second master result, the directed-crossing analysis of [§5.3.3](<5.3.3 Process Theology.md>): any act that brings something about must cross from cause to effect along an asymmetric ordering, through distinct relata, with an agent that persists across the doing — which is to say it runs on T, S, and Φ. A being defined as lacking Time, Space, and Substance cannot perform an act; an agent that acts already instantiates all three, and with them the Conditions they bear.
