those exist in social pattern space so the work of the theologians and philosophers is relevant to them, though "determine" would be a strong word. if you piss in the river, you're involved in the waterfall, but saying you determine it would be a bit much

the theologians' and philosophers' work is part of the phenomenon of gods determining things about themselves, which is mostly real wacky shit like a five-year-old determining he's Superboy
