No, no, no. There is nothing probabilistic about this machine. If you input marbles with a normally-distributed diameter, then yes, you’ll see a rough gaussian curve in the output. But that’s because it was in the input. If the marbles are uniformly distributed, you’ll see a nice rectangle instead of a bell curve. If they’re all the same size, they’ll all go in the same box. That’s an impulse function, but only if you force an infinite number of marbles into an infinitely small box.
