This paper extends previous work on the dynamic averaging of distinct liquid environments by cage exchange to include potential energy fluctuations at the cage centers due to Brownian motions of molecules in the cage walls. After a brief review of the effect of cage exchange on the Schrödinger wave train associated with the electronic ground state of the caged molecule, typical magnitudes and time-scales for the Brownian potential energy fluctuations are estimated. Then a zig-zag model for the resulting noise in the wave trains is developed, and applied to analyze distinguishability in the presence of noisy cage exchange. When distinguishability survives the noise, the distinct caged species are fully fledged environmental isomers. Applications of these concepts are discussed.
