Then what of probability, lankrypt?
If I flip a coin, there is a 50% chance for it to heads, and a 50% chance for it to be tails. We know this empirically, but we also know it logically.
It has nothing to do with previous experience ("chain reactions", as you call them), and can easily act in either of the two potential states.
Are you claiming that the reason it's 50% is not because it's random, but because there is something about the physics of flipping a coin that we don't understand?
If not, then why our lives not allegorically described in the same way as flipping a series of independent coins?
