Randomness is a concept of measurement, specifically a measure of the lack of understanding/analytical ability by humans of a causal system. But the notion of a causal system is based on observing a set of instances where one event follows another, from which which we infer a notion of cause and effect. We then extrapolate that notion to instances that we haven't observed, or which haven't occured yet, and thereby impose a notion of causality on what is, literally, unknown. A random dataset could appear to be ordered to us, and we would be none the wiser. -- Wally www.artbywally.com/FiatPandaRally/index.htm www.wally.myby.co.uk |
