From a post about high fantasy on Tor.com, referencing a Le Guin short story:

"This story taps into primal powers back when the world itself was still a primal thing."

Is the world still a "primal thing"? Discuss.

I suppose it depends on what the article is indicating by primal and how similar or different it is to natural.
