[Arlo] Of course "probability field" is a great metaphor. Not only does it allow for the variance in affordances offered by the MOQ's levels, but within that level we see that the "probability" of an outcome nears 100% as the time index approaches "the present moment" but diminishes the further one moves into the "future". It also contextualizes "free", as our behavior is certainly constrained on various levels (no matter how non-deterministic I want to say the cosmos is, I am not "free" to morph into an eagle).
[Krimel] I would add that probability also diminishes as one moves backwards into the "past". Our memories and recordings of the past give us the illusion of fixity. But they are replications of settled probabilities. If one were actually able to move backwards in time, one would confront to same quantum uncertainties and problems of entropy (in reverse) that we encounter moving forward it time. It is the illusion of memory that makes the past seem fixed and confuses folks like Ham who see space/time as static.
