Can you say a bit more about that? I dislike disturbing other's basic concepts of world-understanding without good reason, but my basic categories are simply threefold: it seems basic to me that events can be caused, chosen, or random.

(An aside: this sort of view is common in the free will dialectic - it is an incompatibilist theory, probably of the non-causal type. Jack's objection is a standard one, and for good reason, I believe.)
