Who do you think the Ones Above are?

A bent metal washer I picked up on the side of the road after an argument with my girlfriend, which was totally my fault. Storming away and walking the four miles back home while trying to push it through my hand helped me come to terms with my selfishness and idiocy in relationships. We got married a few years later.

Physical and Mechanical Investiture Access?
ReadAndFindOut replied to ReadAndFindOut's question in Cosmere Q&A
So if a person is using investiture without the aid of an external tool, it's physical? Which would mean the vast majority of investiture use we've seen so far has been physical: Allomancy, Feruchemy, Awakening, AonDor, ChayShan, Dakhor, Surgebinding, and Sand Mastery. Mechanical investiture use is channeled through something else, not through the actual user. Would that include Hemalurgy and Soulforging? -
In the Coppermind article on Investiture, it says "Methods of accessing Investiture can be broadly divided into two types: physical and mechanical," but it doesn't expound on that. So what does that mean? What magic systems are physical and what are mechanical?

We see on multiple worlds that the intent of a Shard is directly related to how the magic system on that world functions: Awakening on Nalthis is the giving of Breath to something else; bonding a spren on Roshar requires honoring oaths; end-positive Allomancy and end-negative Hemalurgy on Scadrial; etc. So, how is Sand Mastery related to the intent of Autonomy?
