It's randomness with causality; each momentary mutation may be random, but that mutation must be possible based on the prior state. So while it may be possible (even probable) for a perfectly resistant cancer to exist, it's much less likely for a causal chain to exist that allows for that.
It's randomness. Theoretically speaking every possible combination could happen. So you should be able to have a Cancer cure, a cancer resistant to that, another cure, another cancer, etc.. at least until you cover all of the possibilities.
The goal is to have science become faster than physical mutations. You generate medicines faster than you generate resistant mutations.
