明朝火器发展何以逐渐落后

Question

よし?女神様も?来てくれたところで?豊穣の踊りといくか

I was just wondering, is this で in ''ところで'' also a condition particle? I've been looking at a couple of posts here and I see some overlap between people calling it situation and condition. But are they considered the same thing?

Like this post: タイミングで

I would assume ''ところで'' would mean ''now'' or ''at this moment of time'' right? Referring to the moment of time where ''女神様'' just arrived.

If that's the case I would guess it functions similarly to how 関係で and 夢で works (Being in such relations/Under such a relationship, In a dream)

(Being under this timing/moment)

Answer 1

A condition can be seen as a situation that may or may not occur. で as in your sentence marks the realization of a situation, whether it has already occurred at the time of speaking or may have occurred before a future reference time. The usage with タイミング is similar.

The relationship described by 関係で is static and not linked to the realization of a situation or event.

夢 in 夢で would be understood as the location where some event or events take place.
