The Turing machine could draw the required randomness from a tape of random bits, couldn't it? The question might then be asked: "Where did the tape of random bits come from?" To which I guess a response of sorts might be: "Well, where did the Turing machine come from? Probably from there." If you can have unexplained order, then you can have unexplained randomness, can't you? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
