In such a model, what might induce a state change? Knowledge transfer in the form of experience? Perhaps life occurs in states that can be associated with your levels analogous to quantum physics.

For some readers, this will trigger many things that I think you don't intend. For me, what it triggers is that I would just as readily put God-given with the bottom characteristics than I would the top. I don't really know of sincere Christians, for example, who would characterize the world as "fixed and stable." For those who read the Bible, for example, it clearly indicates a dramatic "conclusion" to the world. The only descriptor in the bottom set that wouldn't fit for many Christians would be random. They would accept local randomness, but not universal randomness. I would encourage you to omit “God-given.” For some readers, this will trigger many things that I think you don’t intend.
