Something to note is that many of them relate to randomness. (Uncertainty, chaos, synchronicity)

That’s pretty extreme. To categorize all things as divination means we aren’t allowed to even study nature? Why give us a mind at all?

I'm not saying all things are divination, I'm saying many forms of divination seem to be based around drawing meaning from randomness. Historically, it seems people would use divination as a final effort, after their mind had failed all reasonable routes.
