dc.description.abstract This note advances an entirely materialistic and deterministic view of the limits of physical theories. The following sections cover: a) A demonstration that any physical theory that is accessible to human intelligence is necessarily an approximation; b) Recognition that physical theories based on probability and randomness are therefore approximations; c) A conjecture as to how the randomness and unpredictability that we observe arises from an underlying and inaccessible theory; d) A conjecture about the origin of unpredictable spontaneous quantum events such as unstable isotope decay.
