Isn't that incredible!!! Yet you stated it very well. Using the random interactions, there is definitely a probability attached to your example and it is not zero.

and, the funny thing: any *alternative* outcome of all those factors has *precisely* the same probability as the one outcome set which actually comes to pass.
I believe this is analogous to the so-called "thermodynamic miracle". We don't notice them, because *everything* qualifies as such.

ok, a vain question: is this simple illustration of specificity-out-of-randomness worthy of archive?
