Nature is not _Intrinsically_ random.

Hi Radical_Libertarian, You told me:

Einstein said "God does not play dice"
- which reflects his tendency to believe that
the universe is deterministic, or perhaps better stated
his belief that the universe is not random.

No, no, _No_... He believed that nature was not _Intrinsically_ random.
Einstein postulated that the future is just as immutable as the past,
i.e. randomness can only be a failure to measure some intrinsic causality.

For example, he once said:

The scientist is possessed by the sense of universal causation.
The future, to him, is every whit as necessary and determined as the past.
See Albert Einstein's The_World_As_I_See_It

As I said:

His ability to find once hidden causalities
decades before they were empirically proven
exemplified his faith in Sober_Minded metaphysics.

While Bohr's Copenhagen_Interpretation was mute on metaphysical issues,
Einstein thought today's theories and technologies are not the last word.
If the past is any indicator, theories and technologies will improve.

For example, his General Relativity explained exactly how
a clock with 10 ^ -16 second accuracy
ticks faster with a minute increase in altitude,
... long before it was empirically proven.

You told me:

It is obvious to me that order and disorder can coexist comfortably,
and I told you how many times.

Einstein was never _Comfortable_ with randomness.
He believed theories and technologies would improve.

You concluded:

This argument will go in circles until we have partial randomness,
or an order-disorder continuum, which could in fact be physically
manifested by restricting observability of dimension.

And, by dimension - I dont mean Entropoop !

Why do you want to: restrict the observability of a dimension ?

According to the Standard_Model of cosmology, Lambda_CDM,
4D spacetime is always flat at any point in _Cosmic_Time_.

Adding that fifth dimension, _Cosmic_Time_,
allows us to see that our universe is hyberbolic, negatively curved,
like a 2D hyperbola or a 3D horn with an infinitely long mouth piece and flang.

_Cosmic_Time_ has an infinite range of densities, I posit,
going from more dense to less dense, -- dissipating --,
according to the second law of thermodynamics and
the observed value of General_Relativity's cosmological _Constant_, lambda.
