Do not use this term as a tag, for it is too ambiguous.

random:

  • adjective: "made, done, happening, or chosen without method or conscious decision"[1]
  • [informal:] "odd, unusual, or unexpected" - of subjects[2] or objects - do not use this meaning, instead use the tag what

In randomness outputs from inputs are only known in general but not in particular (no "100% truth"):

  • generation of random numbers: not extremely large,[3] probably going to be a whole number
  • generation of states of coins (coin flip): heads, tails ("50/50"), probably not its side
  • The muscles of humans used to flip a coin has a more random output than computers generating a random output.

There are books about randomness.[4]

Repetition in random sequences are less expected by humans, but does not negate said sequence's randomness.
