Metzger.
if all factors of a work are understood, each moment is predictable. A great deal of 'random' equates with ignorance. The presentation of activity with the minimum of ordering by the artist is belief at its maximum.
the artist desires and achieves a certain form, rhythm, scale: intends, and identifies with all the transformations, predictable and unpredictable, that the world is capable of.

at a certain point, the work takes over, is in activity beyond the detailed control of the artist, reaches a power, grace momentum, transcendence... which the artist could not achieve except through random activity.
