motive might be a logical component

Randomness, as defined by Aristotle is the situation when a choice is to be made which has no logical component* by which to determine or make the choice. According to several standard interpretations of quantum mechanics, some phenomena are objectively random. That is, in an experiment where all causally relevant parameters are controlled, there will still be some aspects of the outcome which vary randomly.
* On the other hand motive might be the logical
component of a lot of choices that does bring about
an outcome that could be predicted.
On the other hand doing the right thing for the right reason might be just as important as the results that they bring. Then too this at least is a blog for today, which is my main motive in writing it.
