We may create the worlds, but we do so by Toady's rules (code). Toady is Armok?
No, The Toady One is the creator.  Armok is the logic behind the !!FUN!! the Creator Created.

Armok is some crazy stoner from New Jersey. Whenever a new world is created, DF sends a message to him on IRC asking about the government, and uses whatever he says as the seed for worldgen.

With your ability to change the world at will (modding) and your omnipresence in the game world I imagine that Armok is to prime God of the Dwarves, is the player, and Armok's Blood is Magma. Or your tendency to slaughter your way across the world as an adventurer, or the scores of creatures that are killed in Fortress mode and world creation.

 Think of it another way.. What happens when you tire or are bored of a world? You delete it from existence and make a new one to find other ways to entertain yourself..

*inevitable, if I am right about what you meant?  As in, can't avoid it.
Still think my theory is right, though.

it depends on the specific universe, or set of universes in the dwarf fortress multiverse in question.

in one armok can be the overseer, in another, the collective will of all overseers. and in others still he is something else.
