Turing machine is mathematical model for computation. Deterministic Turing machine (DTM) is computationally equivalent to Non-Deterministic Turing machine (NTM) but the time complexity may not be the same.

Any mix of logic and randomness is still a machine. You must assume something spiritual if you think there exist rational action without computation behind it. Randomness does not help there.

I'm still uncertain i.e. spiritual. I'm finding, as I grow older, logic and reason fail to answer for my experiences. Whether that's a shortcoming in my own ability to comprehend logic and reason, or because logic and reason simply do not have all the answers, I do not know.

> Randomness does not help there.

The human condition, one might argue, emerged as a way to handle randomness. I suppose, at some level, if we were to remove all randomness from the universe, life would be pretty pointless (insomuch as life is not already pointless.)


What is the purpose of life, which you say depends on randomness?


Well, the future as a mystery, something to be discovered, not known in advance, depends on randomness. I would argue if life weren't random and we could see past, present, and future with perfect clarity, it would be a little pointless. Every action you took, you'd know the outcome before taking the action. It's boring.

There is no purpose of life, in my opinion. But with randomness it's a lot more intresting.
