stochastic-emergentism

A paradigm in which momentum comes from the future; whereas force comes from the past.
Stochastic-emergentism declares that whereas momentum is unevenly distributed along a line; force is evenly distributed along a line.

This means that force is unevenly distributed along a plane.

The uneven distribution of force along a plane manifests itself as temperature change.
