Do you get into spacetime?

Uncertain existence is partial existence. Consider a set whose elements
have
a 50:50 chance of existing. A set which is existentially fuzzy. There is
nonzero probability that it's not even there.

Of course, invoking "nonexistence" can be seen as ridiculous, but if one
has
triviality i.e. existential indeterminacy then partial existence makes
perfect sense.

We're playing billiards, sometimes known as "pool".

9 ball impacts 3 ball, and 3 ball drops into the corner pocket.

Everybody is happy.

Unfortunately, the 9 ball is existentially fuzzy. There is a nonzero
probability that the 9ball doess not even exist. Hence, there is a certain
probability that the process was acausal. That it had no cause.

Simply saying thatthe 9ball does not exist, after having said that it does -
this would be nonsense. However, partial existence via probabilistic
fuzzyness - this allows genuine acausality.

I have a pretty hard time with this concept, but I cannot refute your
approach either. I think there is something to be said for following
out the consequences of a construction and measuring the
construction's value based on those results. It seems to me that this
thing you work with sort of denies my approach and so I would be left
working around it via another angle. I accept that we will never
compute reality due to the complexity of the situation. Then we get
into these minimal systems such as two-slit experiments where we are
supposed to anticipate a clean solution and still get strange
behaviors. The level of control and measurement down there does seem
consistent with your scenario but why then isn't the macro world more
full of this sort of weirdness? Superposition? Are the product
behaviors we initially are taught the fundamental forces to be totally
wrong? I understand that the correspondence principle is enough to
replace the static system with a more dynamic system like your
existential indeterminacy. I do accept a need for freedom somehow or
other yet it is almost a matter of faith until the appropriate
construction comes along. I do have some math that can generate
support for spacetime from a general construction

and if it could be fitted with a random basis then perhaps some
physics would alight.
Polysign covers the dimensional side of things.
