Most one saw on those tv screens was random electronic noise as the agc ramped up the gain in the absence of a signal.

Did I really say that?

You may be partially right.

Very easy to prove with one of those old tv sets. Disconnect the aerial(antenna) and there will be no observable change in the "snow" on the screen, hence it is internally generated in the high nineties %.

Indeterministic chaos encompasses the general issue of chance, any random phenomenon.

When it comes to processes occurring in the cosmos, we are dealing with an interplay of chance and order, determinism and indeterminism, in a proportion of about half to half. This position can be described as indeterminismodeterminism.

Perhaps it would be more reasonable to adopt a division in the golden ratio, where determinism takes up 0.618 and indeterminism 0.382. If indeterminism took up a larger part, we would generally be dealing with chaos, and yet we have a fairly orderly world.

The discovery of great importance, which is illustrated in the diagram, is the fact that pure chance is also subject to ordering processes.

A determinism-indeterminism division, for example, using the golden ratio, would not be appropriate.
