Chance Generator

_Mechanics

The Chance Generator may not be copyrighted or trade marked – it is for everyone to use however they may wish
It is able to take on any structure – the user determines this completely – it is precarious
Respect for the structure is critical in achieving the Chance Generator’s solution
There is no time frame
Physics, Energetics and Intuition transcend the Chance Generator’s development and existence
The Chance Generator operates for anyone at anytime
There are no personal privileges

Sorry, come again ?

Hi. It may at first seem rather esoteric or cryptic, perhaps in some ways it is. It is a theorem so therefore needs to be proved. I think that's what I'm trying to do. I've put it out to see what reactions people may have so thanks for taking the time to read it. The Chance Generator is about having an effect on things and making things happen. It's probably good if interpretations are arbitrary. Other than that all I can say is that a mental workout never hurt anyone.
Cheers

if "Physics, Energetics and Intuition transcend the Chance Generator’s development and existence"
how do i know when the Chance Generator starts and finishes as an object, with no concern to time?
Or does the Chance Generator go beyond objection, if so where to and what? this is most probably a rhetoric question.

Read the theorem word for word. Carefully. It may require a fair bit of undoing (just like in photoshop when sometimes, one ends up right back at the beginning of the document). Note the comment I made in Foxton's reply about interpretations being arbitrary.

Can anyone tell me where to get spare parts for a Chance Generator?
My one is completely buggered.

A Chance generator. When it works, it's great. But when it doesn't work you forget you have it. Or maybe once you're aware of its existence you can never go back.

If there's one thing I'm absolutely sure of Mr Foxton, it's that your Chance Generator is working very, very well. No spare parts necessary.

I was just thinking that your theorum is contradictory - how random can something really be if you have to respect its structure? - when I remembered the Theory of Chaos.

What is Chaos? a five-part online course for everyone!

"At the time of its discovery, the phenomenon of chaotic motion was considered a mathematical oddity. In the decades since then, physicists have come to discover that chaotic behavior is much more widespread, and may even be the norm in the universe." WOW.

Otherwise, what colours does it come in and where can I buy one?

(I'm sure I had better things to do today...)

"...There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened..."
