I'd agree that we can know something, it can be true, yet it is not
subject to prediction. The subject of chaos has a description for
systems in this state: strange attractors. A system is ordered,
deterministic, yet completely unpredictable either in time (when
an event will next occur) or in space (where something will next
arise or in what quantity). Sounds like karma, for instance ...
