Yup.  There are lots of actions to which this applies.  Many of them are
player actions, which are changes to the game state made by the player
when eir message reaches the public forum.  Others are actions by various
gremlins, gnomes, and other entites, which are usually the result of some
sort of trigger.  But the rules themselves don't make these actions, the
other entities do, and they are given permission to do so by the physical
laws.
