Ur-probability restriction(as used in philosophy of physics and cosmology)

fine-tuning(Philosophy of religion / cosmology)
The fact that a number of apparently independent physical parameters have values that, while not fixed by current physical theory, fall within a relatively narrow life-permitting range assuming no changes to other parameters
