Aren't you describing a classical field?

As I understand it, a quantum field is essentially varying probabilities (the wavefunction).

They don't produce consequences in the world, they are the world. You and I, we're excitations of a quantum field. We're of the wave function. The quantum field encodes all the information that is us.
