Natural Phenomena

Roles: force, material, process, terrain, accumulation, erosion, eruption, flow

Geological, volcanic, oceanic, atmospheric, and other natural processes that operate on scales beyond human control. Lava flows, erosion, sedimentation, avalanches, floods — events where material moves, hardens, accumulates, or erodes according to physical laws rather than human intention. As a source domain, natural phenomena map uncontrollability and irreversibility onto human systems: once the lava cools, the landscape is permanently changed.
