There are actually five sexes ... but polite folk don't talk much about the other three.

infinitesimally small events

If events which are too small to measure, that is below the Heisenburg uncertainty threshold were not random then we could get a degree of confidence through statistics. That is to say you could measure a similar event over and over again and you would get answers which are closer to the true value when you analyse. This is not the way the world works. These small interactions of quarks do not get clearer with more data, they remain random. At the smallest level cause and effect are not exact quantities.

I noticed the sexes debate, so I tried to figure out the 5 sexes thing to.

Since it refers to life, not mammals, there are some that were missed. For phsyiological sexualities, I came up with:
Queen (egg layer)
Hemaphordite
Sterile
Male
Female

Then we have psychological classes:
Bi Sexual
Asexual
Homosexual
Hetrosexual

Was this the point?
