I happily return to a slope in a random place. We go back in time to find its genesis, which will be like ancient history for Baxter, Bobby and Ivan, It was Newtonian understanding of the Noun, and I was a bit shy of using the word randomness in a world of probability, pattern and order. My understanding of Randomness came from the Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary, the 1972 edition. I clung to the part of its definition that included "...uncontrolled or unguarded state, freedom...." I remember using the phrase, "No up, no down" to play with the the concept. The point being when you want to think science through the eyes of the Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary of 1972 you were entering an reappraisal of the world, a world were Random Access Memory was a meaning in regular enough use to need a dictionary definition. More recently I might have been tempted by "superimposition." A state having a probability amplitude to be a different state, I might have seen the verb on the slope as a probability amplitude heading toward a defined noun. Had I done that it would have been an error. The world as the mind perceives it isn't probability, pattern and order. That collapsing state solution everyone hopes for and the fall into the safety of the noun at the bottom of the slope, isn't where we, you and I, are. Oh no! Our state of randomness is un-collapsed.
