I wonder whether this option is the denial of causality which the Rambam 
attributes to the Kalam (MN 1:73 in his discussion of the sixth 
proposition).  In that case I find it astounding that you think it was 
widespread - - I don't know of any rishon who explicitly accepts it.  As 
far as I know it penetrated Jewish thought only after Descartes.
