I came across your posts through a search engine result for where does randomness come from. I am studying artificial intelligence and have come to the comclusion that the brain is designed for pattern recognition. I do not know where randomness comes from and if you think about it mathematically I wonder if the amount of randomness in the universe is increasing or decreasing or neither. Do you know? If you have a random phenomena integrated with a deterministic phenomena isn't the product still random? I recently read that the brain is incapable of a random thought. If randomness occurs in the environment could the brain not input that phenomena in its own processes? if the brain is incapable of random thought then it follows that humans or groups of humans are incapable of random behavior. Further, humans will never be able to model anything natural that is even remotely affected by anything random (read artificial intelligence). Above you mention that a deterministic algorithm can produce a random string. I don't think that logic is sound. Incidently, logic and scientific method hinge on the identification of a pattern.
