The universe of reality is commonly thought of as three spatial dimensions and one temporal dimension. This description however is inadequate. Quantum effects make it clear that particles actually move and behave according to many probable positions and states. To better describe this, a new theory is proposed that makes use of the concept of a conditional dimension referred to as chance.
Just as space and time have positions known as locations and instances, chance has positions known as conditions. However, chance differs from space and time in the way that you can traverse it. Just as space and time are different in that with space you can move freely along three axes, while with time you move constantly forward, with chance you move along links between the possible conditions. Thus, chancespace is best represented as graph of conditions. This allows for conditions to be repeated, which helps explain the apparent cyclical nature of some phenomena. Meanwhile, chancetime can be represented as an ever branching tree with the root node being a singularity at the Big Bang.
Each condition in the graph can be linked to any other condition. However, not all links are equal. The each link has a similarity between 0 and 1, with 1 representing “same” or “identical” and 0 representing “orthogonal” or “independent”. This similarity is also the probability that the world line will move from the originating condition to the linked condition.
Chance can be measured with a metric unit as well. In this case it is measured as uncertainty or entropy in bits. It is likely that the overall size of chance increases in lockstep with the amount of entropy in the universe. Thus, the scale of chance is expanding along with the universe.
Objects moving in space have kinetic energy. Objects moving in time have rest energy. Objects moving in chance have potential energy. Normal fermionic matter (quarks, electrons, neutrinos) has all three forms of energy. Bosons however can be described as lacking one or more types of energy. Axions do not have kinetic energy and so remain stationary in space, filling most of the universe almost uniformly. Photons do not have rest energy and thus do not experience time and thus are able to move at the speed of light (they experience it as an instant with no travel duration). W and Z Bosons do not have potential energy and so rapidly decay. Gluons have only kinetic energy and so mediate spatial movement (motion). Higgs Bosons have only rest energy and so mediate temporal movement (mass). Gravitons have only potential energy and so mediate conditional movement (gravity).
Notice some interesting rules that can be found. Bosons with kinetic energy (Photons, W and Z Bosons, Gluons) mediate the quantum fundamental forces (electromagnetic, weak nuclear, strong nuclear). Bosons without kinetic energy (Axions, Higgs Bosons, Gravitons) are much more difficult to detect. Bosons with rest energy and without potential energy (W and Z Bosons, Higgs Bosons) decay rapidly. Bosons with potential energy and without rest energy (Photons, Gravitons) mediate the longer ranged forces (electromagnetic, gravity).
If mass is the frequency of existence in time, then more mass would cause more frequent changes in condition, which seems to be exactly how gravitational acceleration works.
