Re: I believe that anomaly is the 1/f signature. It is not a white (Gaussian) noise. The randomness of the universe is not spectrally flat. My model of this is memory. Outcomes are not blindly random 50/50 rattlings of pachinko machines. [...] I'm almost certain that memory is intrinsicly related to consciousness. The better your memory, on average, the "smarter" you are. I'm not sure I'd agree with your last statement. After all, sharks, jellyfishes, and dragonflies, e.g. have all a pretty good genetic memory --indeed they're all life forms who have not evolved for, say, the past 200 million years.... Yet, I'm not sure they're smarter than mamals who happen to pop up only about 50(?) million years ago. As regards nature's randomness, perhaps we should think of some biological Benford's Law: mathworld.wolfram.com
