Is it simply a matter of what they have accomplished so far regarding creative projects? Like, they have graduated?
Or is it some specific attribute they have to have?
The arbitrarily powerful entity is a stepping stone in the evolution of the concept into an all-everything god.
They think they're working on it from the bottom-up..... but, in reality, the end point is set in stone, in their minds. It's just a matter of getting some neat pieces to build the puzzle and get there.
Usually, they think that, as long as they remain "logical" and "non-contradictory", they're fine.
But building castles in the clouds does have a problem.... foundations.
As long as the foundations are hidden from the planning, you can draw all the blueprints you want for the castle and put the shiny roof on the highest tower.
(that's my metaphor of the day.... enjoy!)
