Random Process

Famous quotes containing the words random and/or process:

“Novels as dull as dishwater, with the grease of random sentiments floating on top.”
—Italo Calvino (1923–1985)

“Rules and particular inferences alike are justified by being brought into agreement with each other. A rule is amended if it yields an inference we are unwilling to accept; an inference is rejected if it violates a rule we are unwilling to amend. The process of justification is the delicate one of making mutual adjustments between rules and accepted inferences; and in the agreement achieved lies the only justification needed for either.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
