An un-moved quantum would merely be a potential and not an actual.  It
would need to be moved to be realized.  In other words, it must be
'observed' to be that particular piece, not just surmised.

Question: If all quantum are neutral, would a player be allowed to capture
them?  I would opt for this, it just would not result in the reduction of
either players' potentials.  Just in the reduction of possible quantums
of expression of the players' potentials.

As the players might have more potentials than possible quantum, the
deduction of a single remaining one might not be precise.  Meaning that it
would need to be moved to be realized.  Whether this is because of a
particular value or possible owner.
