There is always a problem with these topics because the bandwidth is limited, and the board is not meant for such things, and people come from different backgrounds. I'll try it briefly. There are many different kinds of random. Most people think of uniformly random or Gaussian random. There are umpteen others. Each has its own probability law. Not random means deterministic. Deterministic means there is a function, such as F = MA. I have yet to see such a deterministic function that will tell me whether, for example, the SPX will be up or down tomorrow, without error. This would be a simple binary function. That is what non-random would mean. I would love for someone to give me a simple formula, or a complex formula that tells me today, without any error whether the SPX will be up or down tomorrow. Now if the market is not random as you say then that should be possible. This function should work every day without error, forever.
