Motte: the universe was created and is sometimes intervened in by an agentic entity ("god", "simulator"...)

Pantheism identifies the creator with the creation; Spinoza's pantheism denies the creator personality, intention, and consciousness but not agency (i.e. control over outcomes), which we experience as the laws of physics.
