However, the term "random" is rooted in mathematics. The issue is not a "quibble" of philosophy, it is a matter of "proof" and accuracy in speaking.

a propos "accuracy in speaking": We were talking (at least, I was) about the physical world, not the mathematical. And there we're talking about experiments - not proofs. And until now, no experiment has falsified the hypothesis that the quantum world acts randomly...

Old chestnut: Einstein was uncomfortable with randomness in quantum mechanics and expressed his discomfort with the phrase, "The Lord God does not play dice." To which Neils Bohr retorted, "Who are you to tell God what to do?"

Thank you for sharing your views!

Within the scope of a particular investigation, if it was found to be a uniform distribution, the statement is accurate. But such a determination cannot be projected beyond the scope of the investigation to apply to the universe as a whole, multi-verses or across dimensions.

Again, one cannot say something is random in the system if he does not know what the system "is."
