I think what CoolCat is trying to say is that there are two types of powers.

Declarative Powers that give their purpose through underlying mechanics, and Static Powers that don't particularly do anything on their own but state the condition of the user.

Examples of declarative power would be like Author Authority or pretty much any manipulation power. They give a direct tangible thing or concept of what they control.

The static powers on the other hand are like Omnipotence and Galaxy Destruction. They give a condition, that the user can or is something. But they don't give reason behind it. They are merely face templates for justification of people's imagination.
