Excellent observation. Similar in the way that the surface of a sphere is finite but boundless. This core concept I learned from Peter Carroll's book Psybermagick, in which he speculates on the quantum probability mechanics of magick working. In fact it's interesting because this is not a common view of magick, but it was first established as a principle by Aleister Crowley.
Carroll basically says that the way that magick and science work together, and really are the one thing, is that the probabilities of certain events are greater than others. Take money as an example. You can't just sit there praying that suddenly a pot of gold will fall out of the sky, the odds of this happening are so infinitesimally small, that even God would have trouble making this happen.
But if you are making something that someone might find valuable, your chances of bumping into a buyer who is so enraptured in your product, that they throw a pot of gold into your lap, in exchange for it, are much higher. Or maybe an investor who thinks that they can sell billions of copies, something you cannot possibly achieve, will throw the pot of gold in your lap because they think it's worth that much in production.
