Throwing Stones with Hamlet

Introduction: Where are the Stones?

We saw how we could use randomization to generate parallel worlds to make sense of our experiment, and to decide whether there was something algorthmic Mother Nature was doing, or if it was just mere chance that we saw something.

Are there other applications of this chaotic procedure? Can we throw more random stones, some more outrageous slings and arrows of fortune back at the world? Let us see if there are some applications where this might be a useful thing to do!
