Real occurrences are just as likely to happen as potential occurrences and only have a slight edge of being chosen when compared with other potentials within a set limit of infinite possibilities related to the occurence.

Imagine an infinite set of potential circumstances. Now randomly pick one of them. What condition caused that particular choice to be made? Someone may assert that some occurrences have the edge of occurring over others, due to previous circumstances creating an "occurrence probability pathway" and that would be partially correct given the fact that all occurrences exist within infinite "sets" of infinite probable happenings.

You break your arm when you fall out of a tree. The "set" of results in this case is made up of infinite pathways related to the result of falling out of a tree. You could have just as easily broken your leg, your neck, nothing at all, ad infinitum, but you would not perform dental surgery on a cat 4,000 miles away as a direct result of falling out of the tree, since that possibility does not exist within that particular infinite set (although there is always the possibility that it does).

Infinite probability is only as infinite as relative circumstances and preconditioned potentials allow it to be. For something to happen requires an infinite amount of computing within an infinite but limited set of probabilities.

Quite a bit of high intensity computing going on out there just to get my pen to fall off my desk.
