    Typically, "a pseudorandom variable is a variable which is created

    So if actual randomness is removed from nature, and one supposes
    this is replaced by pseudorandomness in nature, then it would part
    of science to discoverWhat is this algorithm?


*If it exists, wouldn't that be a hidden variable? AG

Which would be non-local and therefore consistent with Bell experiments.

    This would be a fool's errand if actual randomness is in the
    reality of nature.
