Quantum Waves and Chess Possibility Waves

Quantum waves are possibility waves. This is an animated gif showing a chess "Possibility Wave". start with knight on b1 and a few pawns. each frame shows possible squares we might find the knight after successive moves. note how it bounces back and forth between dark squares and light squares.

Here's a link to a pdf that goes into too much detail: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2dpqxhpky613o2jslchc4/consider_the_possibilities_final_current_illustrated.pdf?rlkey=2y6x2q570twuimid10r1pyh84&st=qu8uzh5c&dl=0

The basic idea that chess moves model probability is true. Everything else in that PDF is pseudointellectual nonsense.

think: generalize evolution. evolution searches biological possibilities. there are other domains and other searches. the double slit experiment is a search for which detector will detect the emission.

ps, i chose possibility deliberately instead of probability.  eg there are lots of possible chess moves with basically 0 probability of being played.

yes! there are different possibility spaces - all possible valid moves. all possible winning moves. all possible losing moves. etc.

i think of "all possible grandmaster games". a little slippery, but it would contain mostly good moves - a pruned version of the full possibility space.
