ah, yes! good point—so something like the presence of “unseen causes”? The other hypothesis the lab I worked with looked into was the presence of some ‘internally generated forces’ - sort of like an ‘unmoved mover’ - which feels similar to what you’re suggesting? In some way, this feels not really more general than “mistakes,” but sort of a different route. Namely, I can imagine some internal forces guiding a particle perfectly through a maze in a way that will still look like an automaton
