Abstract: In quantum physics, the state space of a countable chain of (n+1)-level atoms becomes, in the continuous field limit, a Fock space with multiplicity n. In a more functional analytic language, the continuous tensor product space over R of copies of the space C^{n+1} is the symmetric Fock space Gamma_s(L^2(R;C^n)). In this article we focus on the probabilistic interpretations of these facts. We show that they correspond to the approximation of the n-dimensional normal martingales by means of obtuse random walks, that is, extremal random walks in R^n whose jumps take exactly n+1 different values. We show that these probabilistic approximations are carried by the convergence of the basic matrix basis a^i_j(p) of

o t i m e s_{N} C C^{n + 1}

to the usual creation, annihilation and gauge processes on the Fock space.
