There is little difference, that I can see, between Brent's proposed
spirit world intervening in the physical world, and brains in vats
intervening in a virtual world, and there is nothing impossible
about the latter scenario. From the perspective of those in the
virtual world, the actions of entities would be neither random nor
determined.
But in that case, physics would not be closed.
And, it would be a mistery why spirits that cause violations in
physical law are attached to complex structures like human brains,
and not, let's say, rocks or dead bodies.
I am not defending the veracity of this position, only pointing out it
is not gibberish nor logically impossible.
John sought an example of something neither random or determined, and
so I attempted to provide one.
