Thread: Can a human simulate a random generator?

A number is no more than a name that is constructed by an ordered naming convention. One can think of them as the objects they name and disregard the fact that they are names or numbers and re-ask the question--which is simply, "Is randomness actually possible?" Now we call results random simply because we are ignorant of all the processes happening and all the results that it entails.

We then get down to the primary question itself, is the Universe random, or does order rule all? In order for it to be random, then effect cannot be equal to cause, i.e. magic must be entailed. The answer should be obvious. We can make something appear to be random, but that is solely due to our ignorance.

Now this brings up a rather mundane note on Khaos or Chaos Theory, which ever way you fancy to spell it, rests solely on the principle that "you can fool all of the people all of the time" i.e. it rests on the assumption of perpetual human ignorance. It is, therefor, simply a branch of pessimism and is not a scientific theory at all.

One of the most interesting aspects of Chaos Theory is an implication its followers are too stupid to realize, that all languages, all logics, are ordered systems--it is impossible for them to then derived an unordered concept. i.e. Chaos Theory is at its foundation a grand oxymoron. The same is true of that fancy idiot, Heisenburg.

In order for either Chaos Theory, or the Uncertainty Principle to be valid, language would then not be possible, which means those followers should have been the first to simply shut up. The simple fact that they speak at all is a tacit admission of their own folly.

Over two thousand years ago, there were a group of men who professed a belief in chaos theory, however, they were smart enough to understand its linguisitic implications and took a vow of silence, thus limiting their contributions to both philosophy and science.

In an important aspect, the concepts of randomness and orderliness represent man's own linquistic ability at one's current stage of mental development.
