<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

It’s an ancient system. Checks and balances are in place not because of the will of any one person. They are fundamentally part of nature, built into the way the world works. The people you see exerting the Lost Will of Nature are not doing it by their own volition or decisions, it’s reality’s way of presenting itself to us to correct anything it deems as corrupted or incorrect.

This appears to be a rather arbitrary force of nature. Most systems with that level of depth possess some degree of intelligence.
