First sentence: Unexpected and unpredictable behavior. In everyday life we feel safer and more comfortable with predictability and determinism: in technically controlled processes, small mechanical forces are expected to cause minor changes; the time-table of trains is hopefully reliable; the motion of the earth and moon around the sun are thought to be regular and stable.
