Our approach casts some light upon the probabilistic difference existing among elementary particles, bosons, fermions and classical ones. In order to describe the behaviors of elementary particles we refers to the different values of a parameter governing the stochastic (in)dependence. The equilibrium probability distributions we attain are defined on the same finite and discrete set of vectors.
