the universe is not random
Page 3 of Selected Works:
│ At the present time it is superfluous to point out that it is not without
│ some guardian that so great a work maintains its position, that the
│ assemblage and movement of the stars do not depend on accidental impulses, or
│ that objects whose motion is regulated by chance often fall into confusion
│ and soon stumble, whereas this swift and safe movement goes on governed by
│ eternal law, bearing with it so many things...
Seneca has some very long winded explanations here where he seems to be establishing that the universe cannot be random by enumerating complex but orderly natural processes.
