yes yes...these are all adequate ideas of CHANCE...but what is it? an uncontrolable force? what?
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
but now you're personifying chance, well, more like objectifying. You mentally make a 'thing' out of it. Almost as if to find a 'reason' why something happened this way, instead of the other.

If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light. If I lose paper and ink, I wil write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always, I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you.
au contrair...
it seems to me that what you are doing is attempting to make CHANCE into a phenomenon...is that true?
chance is merely phenomenon?

Hmmmm I'd have to go with chance is probability at it's best. Chance is math.

hmm, but math is a (probably consistent) system that's made up by humans.
Every math relies on a certain amount of axioms and there are infinite possible ones, so why should our math be a valid descriptor for chance http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
