Experimentation combines controls and unknowns.  Music improvisation combines structure and novelty.  Games combine rules and choices.  So, each example involves both a Will to Certainty and a Will to Uncertainty.  They, thus, illustrate that the Will to Power, in general, can be conceived as incorporating both drives, in varying proportions, ranging from an emphasis on Certainty, e. g. tyranny, to one on Uncertainty, e. g. escape.
