  We investigate indeterminism in physical observations. For this, we introduce
a distinction between genuinely indeterministic (creation-1 and discovery-1)
observational processes, and fully deterministic (creation-2 and discovery-2)
observational processes, which we analyze by drawing a parallel between the
localization properties of microscopic entities, like electrons, and the
lateralization properties of macroscopic entities, like simple elastic bands.
We show that by removing the randomness incorporated in certain of our
observational processes, acquiring over them a better control, we also alter
these processes in such a radical way that in the end they do not correspond
anymore to the observation of the same property. We thus conclude that a
certain amount of indeterminism must be accepted and welcomed in our physical
observations, as we cannot get rid of it without also diminishing our
discriminative power. We also provide in our analysis some elements of
clarification regarding the non-spatial nature of microscopic entities, which
we illustrate by using an analogy with the process of objectification of human
concepts. Finally, the important notion of relational properties is properly
defined, and the role played by indeterminism in their characterization
clarified.
