Abstract
All that exists emerges from the previous and is subject to some determining factors, that is, it has antecedents and causes, which have antecedents and causes, regardless of the difficulty of exhaustively analysing the elements of the causal chain (that is to quantify their forces, their hierarchy and weights, to determine their degrees of conjunction, interdetermination and collaboration, to monitor, mathematize and algorithmize their components), nothing being indeterminate and random. Such difficulty or impossibility cannot generate or constitute a reason to conclude that such complex processes would be indeterminate and random, as they are rigorously determined by a multitude of inextricably intertwined factors.

More complex than the human mind—which it has generated and which it contains—reality may be perceived by senses, analysed and researched upon through experiential processes of all sorts—operated on through methods and tools built for this purpose, thought over by thinking and rendered in linguistic ways appropriate and suiting the relationship between reality and thought
Not being the equal of reality—but merely a process, a way and an instrument generated by a tiny part thereof, science cannot be enforced upon all entities and processes of reality, much less upon those which escape the human knowledge of reality—especially the scientific one
