Hi Marcus,
Indeed it is not a novel line of thought - you will find many related
ideas in the work of Jaynes, which proposes a form of (objective)
probability theory without the concept of randomness. I have also seen
arguments for interpretations of quantum theory without the concept of
rando
E. T. Jaynes argued that probabilities are only a representation of our state of information, and are not in themselves properties of the physical universe (outside of our brains). The idea of physical probabilities he called "the mind projection fallacy." You can read about this in his book _Pro
Explanation need not be fitting an event type into
a deterministic nexus. See Wes Salmon.
