Does True Randomness Actually Exist? ( ^&*#^%$&#% )

i think this belongs here

I may read the OP after responding to the Que in title, but I may not.

Yes, randomness exists all over the place. There is a machine manufactured to mimic the same. True story.

Much more common is corruption but randomness does in fact exist.

As an example, my computer (telephone) is manufactured and the systems within should ALWAYS begin a sentence with a capital letter. Around half the time it DOES NOT. This is just one example of many. The computer has been corrupted, I assure you; this is not random.

let’s give gtp a shot.. “Please explain to kids why the status of determinism is underdetermined”

GTP:”Hey there, kids! Imagine you're playing with a toy car on a track. Determinism is like saying that if you give the car the same push every time, it will always go in the same direction and at the same speed. It's like a predictable pattern.

Now, let's talk about something interesting called "underdetermined." It's like having a mystery or a puzzle where you don't have enough clues to know exactly what's going to happen. In the case of determinism, it's underdetermined because even though we know a lot about how things work, there are still some things we don't know for sure.

Imagine your toy car has a hidden button that sometimes makes it speed up, sometimes makes it slow down, and sometimes even changes its direction a little bit. Even if you give it the same push every time, because of this hidden button, it might not always follow the same path. So, even though we have lots of information about how things usually work, there could still be some surprises or unknown things that affect what happens.

In the big world of science and philosophy, some really smart grown-ups are still trying to figure out if everything is always predictable like determinism suggests, or if there are some hidden things that can make things less predictable. So, the status of determinism being underdetermined means we're still trying to solve the puzzle and understand exactly how everything works together.

Just like you might not always know where your toy car will go if it has a hidden button, scientists and thinkers are exploring to see if there are hidden factors that can change how things happen in our universe. It's like a big adventure to discover more about the amazing world we live in!”

me: ‘the hidden button analogy is too confusing. how about replacing it with environmental randomness, such as the toy car travel over a carpet or something which cause random variables?”

GTP: “Of course, I understand! Let's use the carpet and random variables to explain why the status of determinism is underdetermined.

Imagine you have a cool toy car, and you're racing it on a track at home. Determinism is like saying that if you push the car in the same way every time, it will go the exact same distance and speed every single race. It's like knowing exactly what will happen each time you race.

Now, let's talk about something called "underdetermined." Sometimes, even though we know a lot about how things usually work, there can be factors we don't know about that can make things a little unpredictable. Imagine if your toy car races on a track, but this time the track goes over a bumpy carpet. The carpet adds some randomness to the race. Sometimes the car might go a tiny bit faster when it hits a smoother spot on the carpet, and sometimes it might slow down a little when it hits a bumpier part.

Because of this bumpy carpet, even if you give the car the same push each time, it might not always finish the race in the exact same way. This randomness from the carpet is like a puzzle piece we don't fully understand yet. Scientists are like detectives, trying to figure out how much this randomness really affects the races and whether there are other hidden factors we haven't discovered.

So, when we say the status of determinism is underdetermined, it means we're still exploring and trying to solve the mystery of how much predictability there is in the world. Just like your toy car on the bumpy carpet, sometimes there are surprises or unknown things that can make things a little less predictable, and that's what makes science so exciting and full of new discoveries!“

There are only two places randomness can occur

1. In acts of free will or
2. In quantum indeterminable behavior 

Both may exist, and may have effects on one another. I find free will to be an inherently plausible concept, and I don’t know enough about (2) to make a judgement on a theory of interpreting quantum mechanical laws

oop

it did as of this morning (my toaster).

Lola's back!!!!! 😃😃😃

Please send me a friend request - I'd like to be connected to more people on here Thank you very much

THERE IS NO SUCH TING AS RONDOMNESS! ! NOBODY LIKES RANDOMNESS! ITS ALL PROPOGANDA! RANDOMNESS STINKS!

I happen to LUV randomness ! i mean when wuz the last time u went out for a adult beverage ? ...and got hit on ?
