I work in a world, the world of abstract mathematics, where there is determinism and there is randomness. But the reality of everyday life does not contain anything that is deterministic or anything that is random. Rather, determinism and randomness are idealisms that we find useful as we model reality.

I think I should have paid more attention to this post earlier.

Do you think that, in modelling reality, these two idealisms leave any significant gaps?

If so, can you propose any further idealisms that would be useful in covering these gaps?

Or alternately, any replacement set of idealisms that give better coverage?
