We agree on the future being predetermined with the exception of probabilistic quantum processes - if those don't turn out to be predetermined as well.

I gather we're all guessing. My guess is that the probabilistic emergence of quarks within infinite possibilities is colored by their associations within matter, allowing for continuity.

It's interesting that protons persist for many billions of years, while quarks are so short-lived that they're undetectable except for their effects.
