    I don't know what wikipedia article you're referring to.

    I've never tried to do so, I can't see any advantage to do so. I also see no obvious reason why not.

    Entropy only applies to non-sentient system and breaks down in biological systems( disorder decreases, instead of increases, as in entropy), as, I think Polymath20 recently pointed out.

    I probably can't get a grip on your idea, because my premises regarding Time are not conventional and so I run into a dead end.

    Let me try again. Is it possible to define randomness in a way that applies to the past exactly as it does to the future? If not, then there is no randomness outside of thermodynamics, because the 2nd law of thermodynamics defines the arrow of time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(arrow_of_time)

    Please clarify '2lot' ?

    'Arrow or time' is entropy in the physical reality.

    Not sure what you are applying 'unpredictability' to

    The definitions are sourced in my post so I'm not sure how to interpret the use of 'survives' in you query ?

    Can these definitions of randomness survive without the arrow of time (2lot)? Terms like "unpredictability," "certainty," etc.
