Yes, in a different context, random could be applied to deterministic
chaos, however in the context of our discussion, we're not talking
about that.

Bruno, I appreciate your choice of incompressibility - as far as
mathematical views are concerned. How about a "random" choice of a color
from a hundred others? can this be algorithmic and incomressible?
Or a choice "at random" from available several routes, how to defend an
innocent accused in court?
I admire you, physicists, for writing an equation to everything. I cannot
find this applicable with infinite variables and infinite levels of
influences among applicable factors (=natural systems).
I do not find Russell's "choice without a cause" applicable without
interjecting "known" before 'cause'. Which does not mean deterministic
extremism, the choices are close and fractalously propagating into quite
diverse routes, so it is beyond designability how a later situation will
look.
