Does random have rules?

[Drich]

(Sorry in advance if I'm getting this wrong.)

in QM there is no right, only wrong now, or will be wrong in the future.

QM has a probability wave that collapses into a measurement.
If we take lots of measurements of the same type, then we begin to see the probability wave statistically.

Do you suppose there is a "law of conservation of randomness" in the universe that makes true randomness converge to the expected values?

no, for obvious reasons..

Is it possible that future and past measurements are solutions to an equation where time isn't smooth? In classical mechanics the future and past positions of an object are all solutions to the same equation. Maybe in quantum mechanics it's the same way, except the connection is not between events in adjacent times but in more distant times? This might give the appearance of randomness?

or rather than time, alternate dimension.

Of course there are those arrows of time that you guys mentioned in thermodynamics and retarded potential.

In thermodynamics, 'we' no longer use that term. It is now refered to as "decelerated" potential..

Another issue is entropy. It seems to me that entropy is a measurement of randomness. Entropy seems pretty real, so that might mean randomness is pretty real too.

'entropy? 'entropy' is a cop out term that describes a given indivisuals limited understanding, of what he can not explain.
Ha! Entropy...

Probably nothing I said there makes sense. Cat's are great!!! (at least I said something sensible now )

After reading this I was going to make room for you on the pedestal I have placed Equal-lax, as being one of the smart ones.. But then You said this, and claimed it made sense... Which means you probably and pasted your questions from Somewhere..
