Unless, for the sake of Argument, you have some sort of Cosmic-level authority over all Creation (and/or The Outer Gates?). Meaning, to my mind, it could arguably be a key aspect of the whole Outsider War, in that the current bearer of the Creator (mantle or just authority, who knows) might be able to Declare what is and is not allowed Inside. And by extension an Empowered Mortal that is supposed to watch that barrier (Im looking at you, Rashid) might in turn have enough of a connection to be able to manipulate such things in minor ways. As an example I remember seeing a discussion about whether The Gatekeeper might be so awesome with Wards because he can anchor them to the Gates (if defined as the Threshold of Reality)

This was kind of assumed. There is an Entity that might be the current 'resident' or other powerful beings that have some kind of authority. But for the common person, I wouldn't say they have that kind of power.

Common Person Certainly not. The possibility of an Empowered Mortal like the Gatekeeper being able to do something along those lines that interests me
Mr. Death:
Even if the rulebook says it's a type of threshold, it still doesn't behave like other thresholds.
Harry walking uninvited into the Carpenter's home doesn't just screw up any workings he had going on when he crossed through the door, it prevents him from working magic while inside, too. The sunrise doesn't do that.

fwiw, there is also an equivalent and noticeable, if not as magically destructive, Change that happens at Sunset.
