Well Mathew I have to say it is lots of years since they were shoving Schrodinger's equation, Bohr and friends down my throat so maybe some magic has been invented since! Lots has. But at that time indeterminacy was related only to unmeasurable behaviour of things. Are you saying that there are now random behaviours by quarks and gluons don't stick to plan? Does electron spin suddenly go into reverse? Without even a little push? Do those in up mode spontaneously become down? Very tricky and the implication is the universe could suddenly turn inside out or something equallly fun.

Aren't you just quoting Heisenberg? At least we seem to have pinned down one area of non-causal claims. The other one is the magical mystical human mind which on a more macro scale can allegedly spontaneously do things on an extracellular basis.

Hold the floor scraper. The experiment was hardly clear!! At present it seems you are relating unmeasurable to non-causal. And you seem to want causal but non causal simultaneously. Maybe that can be done in the weird world of the little things. But seems a bit like claiming The Dog Theory Cares to me at the moment.
