[MD] cloud of probability

[MarshaV]

going to clean this up a little


Hello again Mark,

If you were suggesting that 'gravitation' refers to a particular static pattern 
of value, what exactly comprises (every last bit of it) that pattern?  

Can such a question be answered?  If yes, what is the answer?  If no,
why not?  

You might understand why, at the moment, I think the best answer would be: 
all-that-is-opposite-from-non-gravitation, and I sometimes visualize the pattern 
as a cloud of probability.
