You have got to play the game with the cards that have been dealt to you, and it is of no use for you to bewail your fate because you don't hold different ones.

Anna Brackett

So once the cards are dealt the game is determined, and from any position in it you can derive all others back to the deal and forward to win or draw. ...in relation to the solar system..., the laws are like the rules of an infantile card game.... But in relation to what happens on and inside a planet the laws are, rather, like the rules of chess; the play is seldom determined, though nobody breaks the rules.
