Could 'force' represent changing probability?

Is the universe governed by forces or energy? Could the most fundamental particles have fixed negative potential energies so that they always exist in some kind of bound state?

 

e=1/r1 - 1/r2 + 1/r3 - 1/r4... = constant (<0)(odd= 'attractive' even='repulsive')

 

If this was so,there would be most probable configurations in which particles were separated by certain distances. For two 'attracting' particles moving further apart,other particles would have to compensate by moving closer to them into less probable configurations. Moving between states of differing probabilities would appear to us as a force and for human beings to reach lower probability states-say a rocket lifting off- would require a manipulation of matter which could be seen as an expenditure of chemical energy.

This is PURE SPECULATION (this idea was just a daydream) but how close as a model of our universe could this get?

(It would be nice if we could dispense with the Strong Nuclear Force,the Weak Nuclear Force etc etc !!!!)

(I hope people aren`t getting fed up of my posts!)

 

oops odd = repulsive even=attractive
