metaphysical capacity of the cosmos to be something God doesn't want.

I mean that. So God is constrained by something other than logic.

    No, this metaphysical capacity is the universe's, not God's. Freedom is the human form of a cosmological reality : the capacity not to be what God wants. God is the one who created the word that way, because he wanted a universe he doesn't control. Because if the universe can't not love God, then it can't love it. Love must be free.
