You are mistaking a realization of a random process for the random process itself.

I don't understand but I am interested, would you give a bit more explanation?

  • Sure!

    • Thank you, but I seem terribly out of my depth for that level of discussion.

      If Claude helped me understand correctly, the error is on me for taking determinism as a base assumption and rejecting the assumption of "randomness" at a universal level? Is this something I would need to buff up on the quantum stuff to come around on?

      All I have in my head is Laplace's demon, all I've ever observed is deterministic events: If you flip the coin the same way everytime, it'll come up the same way everytime?
