   the set of  causality(OR)randomness would have minimum ordinality   
   because of the random elements, it would also have maximum ordinality   
   because each causal element lies in a chain of cause and effect and   
   can be mapped onto itself   
      
   you can't have two ordinalities, since I observe causality and not   
   randomness I pick what I said in the original post
