Overturning the conventional subordination of ontic randomness to epistemic uncertainty, Miguel Prado Casanova proposes that randomness produces uncertainty as a generative condition for knowing. Noise is form-creating, not just form-destroying. It indexes a randomness in the real that enables cognition. Knowing relays reality’s self-making; it harnesses noise but does not tame it.
