New idea: ‘Dynamic substance’

  • Try to derive ‘existence’ from ‘dynamics’

  • For example:

    • ‘electromagnetic force field’,
    • ‘potential energy field’
    • ‘matter is a form of energy’
    • wave function is a ‘propensity field’
      • propensity to interact, or
      • propensity to choose actual outcome
  • Propensity (of some kind) is substance
