Abstract: We continue our program of unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics in terms of a noncommutative algebra $calA$ on a transformation groupoid $Gamma=EimesG$ where $E$ is the total space of a principal fibre bundle over spacetime, and $G$ a suitable group acting on $Gamma$. We show that every $aincalA$ defines a random operator, and we study the dynamics of such operators. In the noncommutative regime, there is no usual time but, on the strength of the Tomita-Takesaki theorem, there exists a one-parameter group of automorphisms of the algebra $calA$ which can be used to define a state dependent dynamics; i.e., the pair $(calA,phi)$, where $phi$ is a state on $calA$, is a ``dynamic object. Only if certain additional conditions are satisfied, the Connes-Nikodym-Radon theorem can be applied and the dependence on $phi$ disappears. In these cases, the usual unitary quantum mechanical evolution is recovered. We also notice that the same pair $(calA,phi)$ defines the so-called free probability calculus, as developed by Voiculescu and others, with the state $phi$ playing the role of the noncommutative probability measure. This shows that in the noncommutative regime dynamics and probability are unified. This also explains probabilistic properties of the usual quantum mechanics.
