... if any were asserted, we'd have no means of deciding whether they were correct or incorrect. You would use "process" to denote a randomly changing set of phenomena? I have no qualms about calling radioactive decay a 'process'. The decay of each atom might be fairly described as a process, but unless there is a chain reaction going on, it seems loose terminology to describe the decay of a lump of radium as a process (...
