The Oxford English Dictionary defines 'random' as: "Having no definite aim or purpose; not sent or guided in a particular direction; made, done, occurring, etc., without method or conscious choice". However, if we intend randomness as events with equal frequency probability this can't be. Think for example of the frequency of symbol sequences of a crypted text file. So I'm wondering if there exists a rigorous definition of randomness in mathematics and/or physics which can be interpreted as the above definition?
