What are you sources of knowledge?
Observation.
Do you think randomness is only an unperceived pattern or do you think all patterns break down to unperceived randomness?
It depends on what you mean by randomness. When most people say random, they mean randomness with a uniform probability distribution function (pdf), i.e., like throwing a single die. With one die, ideally, the values 1 through 6 are each equally likely. However, there are many, many pdfs that scientists consider and mathematically, they are infinite.
Interestingly when you start summing pdfs, they start looking an awful lot like a normal (gaussian) pdf--what people commonly refer as a bell-curve. Take a handful of dice. Throw the dice. Sum the values you see. Record how many times you see each sum. Do this a hundred times. Create a graph of how many times you saw each value from smallest sum to largest. This graph will look like a bell curve.
What does the graph mean? It means the values toward the top of the bell curve (in the center of the graphs) are much more likely to occur than the values at the tails of the bell curve (on either end of the graph). The sum for each throw occurs randomly. Nevertheless, we can expect the value at the center of the to occur more often than the values at either end of the graph.
Quantum physics tells us that the underlying structure of the universe is random. This does NOT mean that every possibility is equally likely. We have the observation that even though the motion of electrons are random, we can expect the electron to be within a range of positions with a certain amount of certainty. We can also say that the probability of the electron showing up at the other end of the universe (effectively vanishing
here) is very very close to zero.
So, yes I think the universe is random
and we perceive that randomness. And, the nature of that randomness is such that we see it as patterns because the randomness makes certain occurrence much more probable than others.
Do you think cause and effect govern all natural processes, including human emotion?
Yes.
Do you think objective truth exists?
Yes.
Do you think objective morality exists?
No.
