be causes that are not determined by the laws of nature that

processes. Some processes in nature appear to be chaotic. They
are so sensitive to even the smallest error that we can no
longer predict their outcome.  Furthermore, at the atomic scale
of matter, at the scale of chemical and biochemical processes,
we discover an even more fundamental limit. Making measurements
and predictions with perfect accuracy becomes entirely
impossible.  This imprecision and randomness is built into the
foundations of the world, together with t
