How flexible is the principle of causality?

Can you just for fun clarify what you mean by true randomness? I as a physicist suspect that it is impossible to prove such a thing to begin with. You can show that there are no measurable correlations. When you do that, you will find some, but they should get weaker as you keep measuring. But proving true randomness, even in a scientific sense of proving... what would that entail in principle?
