The original graphics for this page showed all the quantum as similar. 
They have since been changed to differentiate them. 
Right...wrong...best...worst.... At this point it appears to be a matter
of preference.

The difference between a Field and Player Reset: In a Field Reset all the
quantum on the field must be defined.   In a Player Reset, once one player
has defined all their potential quantum(there may still be other un-defined
quantum on the field).

I actually opt for the Field Reset.  It seems to comply with the stated
rules.  The same with the Actual determination of the quantum.  Thus my
preferred condition would be Full Field Actual Reset.

I would also opt for the quantum as neutral.  This would greatly increase
the level of difficulty in the play.  All that needs to be determined is
some form of conditionals by which a player may take possession of a
particular quantum.  

I have been working on a very intricate formula, involving not only the
adjacent pieces to the quantum but also including the conditions of cells
beyond.  Granted that this form of play may not appeal to most, but I
always look for ways to increase the difficulty in quantify a game rather
than making it easier.

And the author of this page states that the inventor intended for this
game to be the most difficult on Earth. ;-)
