JohnC: forget about "sdtatistical"! Statistics is 'counting WITHIN arbitrary (and that can mean: presently knowable) limitations. Exceed those and your statistics is hogwash.
Try the infinite (I know you cannot) and you find 'equal' %-s for everything. Random, not random. Chaotic - ordered. Entropic or not. Emergent, or fully already known. Such thinking may not be too flattering to our ego, but that is what we are: stupid ingredients in a fraction of of an unfatomable Everything. I call it (partially) agnostic - a nicer word for ignorant.
