Default The ( unimaginable ) 4-D world that's intrinsic to nature.

The earth is moving in a staight line.. but spacetime is curved.
The spacetime continuum is also known as hyperspace,
i.e. the 4-D gravitational field, a hyperstructure.

Randomness is ignorance, nothing more.
When a system is fully known it can be modeled in 4-D;
otherwise its a 3-D model or ( worse ) a statistical model.

For some light reading on this topic see
this philosophical novel about World War II and 4-D hyperspace:
³ Slaughterhouse-Five;
or, The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance With Death ².

Einstein said:
³ I see a pattern,
but my imagination cannot picture the maker of that pattern.
I see a clock, but I cannot envision the clockmaker.

The human mind is unable to conceive of the four dimensions,

so how can it conceive of a God,
before whom a thousand years and a thousand dimensions are as one ? ².
-- ³ The Expanded Quotable Einstein ²,
Princeton University Press, 2000 Page 208

Petkov ( 2005 ) has this to say:
³ This paper pursues two aims.

First, to show that the block universe view, regarding the universe as
a timelessly existing four-dimensional world,
is the only one that is consistent with special relativity.

Second, to argue that special relativity alone can resolve
the debate on whether the world is
three-dimensional or four-dimensional.

The argument advanced in the paper is that
if the world were three-dimensional

the kinematic consequences of special relativity and more importantly
the experiments confirming them would be impossible. ².

-- ³ Is There an Alternative to the Block Universe View ? ²

From Einstein's, " Ether and the Theory of Relativity " ( 1920 )
quoted at " http://TUHH.DE/rzt/rzt/it/Ether.html ":

" But this ether may not be thought of as
endowed with the quality characteristic of ponderable media,
as consisting of parts which may be tracked through time.

The idea of motion may not be applied to it. ".

Did someone mention Hoaxy?
