I think that I will concentrate on Bario for now.  Thanks for the attempt
at distraction.

With your statement that a neutral game would result in a possible large
number of quantum located around the King.  It would be necessary that the
King is a weighted factor in the determination of which quantum will be
utilize by the player.  Thus the closer your King to a quantum, there is
an exponential factor that you will increase the opportunity to take
possession of such.

The proximity of Pawns could also play a part in determining the
possession of a quantum.  A simple rule might be to state that a quantum
located on a file behind a player's Pawn(regardless of distance) would
have an added factor.  This would increase the opportunity to gain
possession of quantum on the player's side of the field.

As pieces are delevoped, their proximity to quantum will also have an
effect.
