the question I have is will the algorithm work without a random number generator in the work flow and if there is "random" there is that element that I need to see in order to make learning possible.
What a lot of empiricists on this sub don't seem to get is that deduction is a narrowing down process and if there is only one possible outcome, then there is nothing to narrow down as we make some determination.
edit: In the 2+2=4 example, I can use induction to say every time I count two apples and two more apples I count four apples and wonder if the next time it will be five, or I can use the mathematical deduction method and understand that I don't have to count any apples if I already know that 2+2 necessarily equals 4. Formal logical deduction is more powerful than than many empiricists are willing to acknowledge.
There's nothing here!
