Abstract
Our idea of randomness, especially with regard to images, is that structures or patterns which are created randomly look more or less arbitrary. Maybe there is some characteristic structure, but if so, it is probably not very interesting — like a box of nails poured out onto a table.
Nothing in Nature is random...A thing appears random only through the incompleteness of our knowledge.
Spinoza
