V 126
Coincidence/Law/Lewis: a random truth is one that never had a chance to be true - it does not enter the law system, because it does not contribute enough to the simplicity and strictness.
>Simplicity, >natural laws.

V 131
Law/Laws of Nature/Explanation/Humean supervenience/Lewis: I want to save Humean supervenience with the theory of the best system (as an explanation of laws).
>Supervenience, >Humean supervenience.
Solution: The prehistory-chance conditionals must supervene trivially by being non-contingent.
Problem: this creates strong restrictions for reasonable belief.
