All processes are random.

As far as any physical ability to measure goes, yes. Might there be a globally hidden collusion between different points in the field though? QM doesn't rule that possibility out, but then again, we're talking about something that is inherently unmeasurable, though. I realize, though, that if there any non-randomness inherent at the core of processes, such causality is unmeasurable and hence non-physical. (The possibilty of globally hidden variables seems to run analogous to the possibility of a supernatural intelligent designer - no real scientific possibility of finding either one. Hypothetical causal agents that leave no empirical signature lie outside the scope of the scientific method. )

I agree with your post 1000 entirely, though. I was simply doing some speculative musing.

In case you were interested. To refresh your memory. I had commented that I saw some news of an experiment, that said time was smooth on the planck scale. You asked for a link and I couldn't find one, or remember what it was about(CRS).

It was some results from Hubble shots of far away light sources. The results show that there is no dispersion in the phasing of light from far away sources, due to Planck scale fluctuations in space time. Here's a news summary and the paper. The experimental results show that, the plank scale, looks smooth, and that puts a constraint on Planck scale structure(s). The constraint is that they must act in concert, so that a wave passing through some region remain unaffected. ie. conservation of E on the Planck scale.
