A related question is, is there any such thing as true randomness at all? Or is every case of true randomness an instance of FPI?

Or is FPI just a convoluted way to pretend there isn't true randomness?

What do you mean by "true randomness"?

I have no problem with that notion, though. I use it in the sense of total arbitrariness. I illustrate this by giving my favorite binary true random sequence: it is

1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111...

It is the "true random sequence" of the superlucky guy (or super unlucky , in case he bet on zero!).

But for the FPI, for example in the iterated WM-duplication, all you need is too realize that the the vast majority of 1p experienced experience is algorithmic-incompressible. That is random enough.
