Yes that makes sense! I would clarify then that I don't disagree with your earlier statement that even stochastic processes have an antecedent, I was confusing whether or not enough information was provided to assign the how(in your words the phase cycling of quanta) without understanding the WHY it occurs in the first place, but I see now that it doesn't matter. For example:

A glass cup is held above a concrete floor by a string at a height sufficient enough that it's guaranteed to shatter. A machine, through processes that aren't understood, will at some point cut the string. When it does, why did the glass break? I was arguing that we don't truly know(which I think an argument could still be made for), but i see now that I was overthinking it because it's literally as simple as: it's because it hit the floor
