Question: This thought was inspired by [Serban Tanasa's question](https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/19870/stealing-luck-for-fun-and-profit) regarding engineering one's luck, since luck is time variant (depends explicitly upon time) and a fifth or higher dimensional being "can" experiences all alternate times at once... remember in physics class when teacher mentioned a particular counter-intuitive fact about quantum physics of double slit is that the present can affect the past however this is irrelevent right now only an [interesting fact](http://secondnexus.com/technology-and-innovation/physicists-demonstrate-how-time-can-seem-to-run-backward-and-the-future-can-affect-the-past/).

My question is since a higher dimensional being is capable of omni-experiencing-and-perceiving-all-times since big bang till end of time or perhap time is looping, can they feel lucky? or let's stretch our imagination further since we have multiple spatial dimensions maybe these beings see area or volume of time and luck applies differently than ours, a possibility.

Note:

Fifth dimensions mean 3 spatial dimensions your length, width and height and 2 timelines. Or some may argue it is 4 spatial dimensions plus 1 timeline it doesn't matters so long the beings can affect the past, present and future simultaneously.

Suppose we see the being drops a vase and it is accelerated towards the ground, from the being perspective there are numerous amount of same vase at different heights and on some timelines the vase neither existed nor broken. The being can also see the fragments reassemble back into a vase while levitating off the ground.

Imagine walking down a street where you sees many copies of younger and older self each doing different things and in one of the timelines you are either dead or never existed.

Answer: 
I recall several stories that employ relevant concepts.

Greg Egan has a novel in which a butterfly evolves future-feedback physics and then evolves rapidly without trial and error, always getting just the right solution.

James P Hogan has a novel where a planet has flowers that impart a sense of what's the right decision for long-term benefit. 

I recall a short story in a magazine in which a decice is invented that is worn as a pendant around the neck, and feels ahead into the future to the organism's lifespan, and signals with a shock to the neck that something bad will happen. It worked to avoid a car crash, and a vague signal with no explaination was explored by making different plans until the signal abated (it was a house fire). It had some tech explaination in the text, not just a magic amulet.

A other Egan novel had a way to supress the wave collapse and allow multiple histories to exist, and it could be used to get the right random/lucky outcome. You ought to read *Quaranteen* for these ideas on harnessing the *many worlds*.

Another idea is that a network of nanobot sensors etc. and high powered computers can compute through *chaos* and, e.g. make a hurricane by getting the right butterfly to flap its wings on cue. Seeing the future more directly would amont to the same thing.
Well, I'm think the answer is in your question.  

Since "Angels" was known as soulless Messenger machines we can asume the global information network. And it is known "information is power". It's not pointed to favored have individual high luck, so I'm guess it's a question of priority, e.g. One man developed a prototype of some great new device. As soon as he's not the only one who know about device the information leaked to the Favored. Now it's nothing but a deal of sequence of coinsedences. Man should deliver the prototype to some company, while on the way, lost his key from home (no one saw a boy who stoled it), was hitted by the car (no one hurt but prototype was destroyed), and the meeting was canceled (company got bad news from market). When returned home, Man see it in fire. Bad luck, bad luck.  

Now, how it was from the point of view of Favored: 

```
New information aquired about some new device.  
New information acquired about the meeting.  
New project started.  
Possible route of target builded.  
New task for local thieves sent.  
Target progress on route - 10%. Deviation - 0,1%  
New report from agent (Thief): Task completed.  
Deviation process on market stocks started.  
Road traffic simulation started.  
Road traffic simulation finished.  
Spam message sent to <"car driver">  
Target progress on route - 70%. Deviation - 5,4%
Target and <"car driver"> encounter - in progress  
Target and <"car driver"> encounter - complete  
Protype destroyed.  
New report from agent (Special): Documents received. Fire accident in progress.  
Target company market status: unstable.
Deviation process on market stocks finished.  
All project tasks completed.
Project completed.  
New research iniciated.  

```

At the end Favored got new technology. Good luck for them. So, it's not the question of Luck Mining, but Information Mining.
