Hi Ian,

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).
