>> "arbitrariness or choice" is an illusion >after reading a little about quantum mechanics I'm not so sure any more. Even Brownian motion would suffice, a chemical phenomena we've known about for millennia.[0] The jittering of sodium and potassium ions between neurons can be enough to trigger spike firing in a 'random' way[1]. At the end of the day, we are just complicated salty sacks of stochastic processes trying to reproduce, not much more. [0] yes, it's 'quantum mechanical' in cause, like all things are. I'd say it's more statistical mechanics than quantum though, but to each their own: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownian_motion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownian_motion [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_Neural_Science https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_Neural_Science
