might choose to identify this limitation with the ‘intrinsic randomness’ that has been ascribed to the quantum world, although Fuchs prefers to see it as a genuine autonomy: a ‘creativity or novelty in the world’. Wheeler called it, rather cryptically (but not mystically) ‘law without law’. In this view, laws enter into the universe only when (and because) we intervene. They are the probabilistic laws we have discovered to be effective in quantum mechanics, and which can become deterministic ones at scales where averages rule.
