If most of us expect the US to withdraw, then it will probably happen.
Otherwise, why would we expect it? The more certainly you or we expect it,
the more probable it is (you and we share most of our expectations). No one
is really certain though, until they've seen and created it with their own
eyes, which happens after the quality event has either changed or confirmed
their expectation in pre-cognition. So you can still be suprised by the
quality event and have your expectations changed by the time DQ has left a
static reality in its wake, but not usually. What happens most of the time
is that our expectations are confirmed.
Our collective expectation, what most of us expect, is most likely to create
reality. A few wackos who expect something different will probably, most of
the time, be shown to be wackos, just like we expected they would. Unless
the few are respected scientisists, then we expect that they are probably
right.
Sometimes specific things happen that no one or hardly anyone expected, like
a volcano erupting out of the blue, or a fossil being found that changes all
our fundamental knowledge about reality, or a wacko being right, but we
expect that kind of thing to happen sometimes, don't we? A few things we
know for an objective fact are that we don't know everything, and we don't
know what we don't know.
But what causes that actual specific unexpected thing to happen, and not
some other random thing? I think we usually find explanations afterwards,
and we realize that it had to happen for the world to continue to make sense
in light of new emerging patterns. We might not have been aware of those
patterns as they were developing, but the nature of patterns is that they
are noticed after they are patterns. We need things to make sense in
retrospect, so that things fit patterns that are seen later. DQ's function
is to create the one common world such that it makes sense according to our
collective expectations, and if that requires surprising some or all of us
and proving our specific expectations wrong once in a while so that our
overall expectation of a coherent reasonable cosmos is met, then that's what
it does. I don't say that DQ is static, I say that at the moment it creates
pre-reality by bringing our expectations into coherence pre-cognitively, it
is identical to the static reality that it creates. But by the time we are
aware of the static reality, DQ is off creating the next one, so it isn't
identical anymore.
