span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: quot;Times New Romanquot;"I argue that intrinsic quantum uncertainty informs the elemental life experiences of random play and compassionate sorrow. These experiences, like Niels Bohrrsquo;s quantum ontology, point toward unscripted novelty, fresh variation, and far-flung sympathetic interconnections. And in doing this, they allow the inner and outer feeling experiences to grow back together. As we feel the world sensiblymdash;that is, touch it with our sense organsmdash;it touches back in a way that engenders feeling-laden or sympathetic understanding. /span
