1) Generally, stochastic (pronounced stow-KAS-tik, from the Greek 
stochastikos, or "skilled at aiming," since stochos is a target) 
describes an approach to anything that is based on probability.

2) In mathematics, a stochastic approach is one in which values are 
obtained from a corresponding sequence of jointly distributed random 
variables. Classic examples of the stochastic process are guessing 
the length of a queue at a stated time given the random distribution 
over time of a number of people or objects entering and leaving the 
queue and guessing the amount of water in a reservoir based on the 
random distribution of rainfall and water usage.

but synchronicity may be the fly in the ointment.
