I'm saying it now, tapping into randomness randomly is how this whole universe works. All the complexity you see around you; life itself, emerges out of an infinitely random space. This shouldn't surprise anyone, the right answer to explaining intelligence is not about finding the right answer but the wrong one, sometimes, and then feeding back on itself until it is coherent. Also, this goes much deeper than just the superficial, information coalesces as a result of this, reality is fundamentally defined by this. The observer, you, your consciousness, emerges from that random infinite space of interconnectivity, you tune into that space as a source of shared but bounded information (like a pianist reciting a complex piece from "memory", who doesn't have enough information density in her neurons to encapsulate that knowledge). This prediction machine of 'what comes next' is present, until your cells can no longer co-ordinate, at which point it is over.
