Ours is an uncertain world

Because statisticians are from Mars and the rest of us are from Earth, chance is considered the exotic factor in art.

Randomness and chance being in two places at once

The electron does anything it likes... It just goes in any direction at any speed, forward or backward in time, however it likes.

"Randomness, chance, was also a very New York aesthetic strategy in the post-war years, but, in the wake of surrealism, it was also prominent in the approach of the American Painter Ellsworth Kelly"

Fat chance for the statistical model

Theory still leave us with the system represented as a mixture of various possibilities, with some combination of chance and choice.
