Sort of. I have this whole concept of how motive participation evolves through sense in a linear, strategic way. Think of the panopticon perspective, where the control center is the hub of a wheel of cells which can be observed by the controllers. This metaphorically elevated position mirrors the physically elevated position, like a hilltop in battle, where the more terrain you can view, the more you can theoretically control the outcome of the battle strategically...
However: You can still understand that you are going to get your ass kicked. Understanding gives you potential to control, and motive to control, but the execution of control requires...resources. Which means using your motives in a way which causes other beings to cause other beings to sympathize with your motives, leverage their own motives against rocks and sticks and high explosives, etc.. to be come more *persuasive*.
