Random events
Origin: Ar. hisp. azzahr., Lat. eventus
Random events are selected by chance from lists of possible events; they are generally taken to be of low or unknown probability. Random events are usually outside any model that may be part of a simulation. Random events can add a worthwhile dimension of uncertainty to simulations used in training and policy analyses and certainly add excitement to simulations used as games.
Spanish: Eventos aleatorios
