Mr. Bear acted more human-like than the other great druid, Grandfather Tree. Although they were both Guardians of the same patch of woods and adept at druid magic, they behaved differently. One started out acting really human-like, but eventually lost that personality as time went by; as for the other, it had the appearance of an animal, but it began to act more human-like as time went by. Such polar opposites were, perhaps, worthy of reflection.
However, despite being a mysterious and dangerous being, Mr. Bear was not as vulgar as its counterpart on earth,

So. What do you think this whole Gnosis thing is about? Nay, what do you think this whole “nature” is about?
I kinda just thought... The Bear probably changed the time and the circumstances surrounding a certain object so that the Law on it responds to the fake information? I don’t know. Maybe the nut flew here and there because that Bear just added in the circumstance of “wind blowing from angle x” around the nut, and the nut’s Law got fooled into responding to that fake information. Same as the whole sprouting a sapling. Bear kinda fooled the Law on it into thinking time had passed very quickly, and then Law reacted by making that seed grow. It’s different from Territories because Territories are forceful alterations of the Laws themselves, like, well, bugs in the machine’s coding. While this… “Order of Nature” thingy is more like manipulating the input information that would be fed into the machine, and let the machine’s original coding execute what its rules say about this information.
Seriously, that’s all I could guess. What’s your theory? Maybe one of you hit the damn nail! First one to figure this out gets to be turned into a tree!
Yes, that’s mega first prize right there.
I wonder if this could ever come back to explain why Baiyi had some strange powers in the Void, like how he could calm it or something. Is he also a god, or are all other gods also himself— gah! Spitballing again, me!
This is seriously very Matrix-y
