Hold on to your bubbles. Didn't I watch a show in the first quarter of this year where the lava lamp wall was part of the encryption and some terrorist had to be stopped?
Never say never regarding randomness - look at the work on complexity and we can break pieces down to look at patterns within specifics. Yes, the complexity of 100 lamps all working independently, and hopefully off different power sources noting the unification point immediately apparent, then we start to have layering of complexity.
Short of whether my bike is green and parked in what direction inside or outside, the idea of randomness takes on different dimensions. Bring on spatial theories and complex dynamic systems connected in networks
