An attempt to propose a workable mechanism for phenomena that explicitly violate or operate above the laws of nature as currently understood—miracles, divine intervention, or magic. This is a taller order than paranormal mechanics, as it requires inventing or invoking causal principles from "outside" the natural order. Think of it as speculative engineering for the realm of gods and spirits: How would a prayer be "received"? How does a curse cause physical harm?
