Meanings
- not comparableNot aleatory; nonrandom.
My nonaleatory conception of intertextuality allows for specific sources, influences, and generic affinities where warranted, and concentrates, for the most part, on its diachronic aspect, as a vehicle of cultural and ideological investments.

As Jonathan Cohen points out, ". . .though aleatory probability [i.e., the probability involved in games of chance] always requires a complementational principle for negation and a multiplicative principle for conjunction, there are contexts in which credibility conforms to non-Pascalian [i.e., nonaleatory] principles" (1989, p. 13).
2003, John Woods, Paradox and Paraconsistency, page 96When Lönnrot asks, "Scharlach—you are looking for the secret name?" (1.505/CF 154), Scharlach's answer makes clear that Lönnrot's concern for perfection, for the ideal, hence the nonaleatory, is misguided and misleading: "No . . . I am looking for something more fleeting and more perishable than that—I am looking for Erik Lönnrot” (1.505/CF 154).
