Can luck be a law of nature?

I want to write a character in a script that has what appears to be a luck based power; however I want the power to actually be the universe having a pre-determined outcome for the character.

My current concept contains terminology such as;

- Attractors : Things with determined outcomes

- DOA : Determined Outcome of Attractors

- Trajectory : The paths that the attractor takes before reaching the DOA

- Elasticity : How wild the trajectory can be

- Interference : Something that stops the Attractor from reaching the DOA

- Correction Event : A forced variable that subverts that initial interference, realigning the attractor to its DOA.

For example, if a marble is an attractor and landing in a certain spot of the room is the DOA, no matter how I throw the marble, it'll always land in that set spot someway or another, even if I were to take the marble into another room.

It's kind've like the opposite to every action has a reaction; I'm wondering if someone would be able to help me write a scientific law stating that sometimes a reaction is already set, whilst the actions to get to said reaction aren't.

If someone were to be an attractor and their DOA were to pass away at 100, but they got an incurable disease that has a 100% fatality rate within a year of diagnosis, and they were diagnosed at 35; the intervention event would be a sudden cure developed as a byproduct of some other sort of testing.

If an attractors DOA involved the attractor needing a reinforced arm in some capacity, maybe the attractor would have their arm snapped in just the perfect way through some means, to where the bone heals back stronger than before; or the attractor develops a certain mutation that spikes regeneration in some capacity, ect ect.

Examples of characters I can think of when referencing this are gonna be (so far)
Pocoloco from the first episode of SBR
Domino from Marvel
Relatively any main character with a winners storyline

What other rules could be added?
How could this affect our understanding of other sciences?
What would any form of equation look like for this?
Where would this fall flat?

I'm currently in a dilemma with my friends regarding a difference in culture and our interpretation of cultures. My friend's currently interested in this girl, who's (in my opinion) expressed a lack of interest in my friend; however she's interested in me, and actively pursing me. I generally don't believe in monogamy the same way those around me do on average, especially in regards to single people who've the right to their own autonomy.

My friends argue I must respect some sort of societal placed "bro/girl code", allowing my friends dibs to take priority over the girls individual autonomy to choose where she spends her interest.

They think it'd be best I completely stop talking to the girl and allow my friend to pursue her, even though she's disinterested, in two of my classes, we're paired together for assignments, and generally have good chemistry, whether that platonic, romantic, or sexual.

Culturally I learned non-monogamy, and I fully understand monogamous relationships in terms of setting boundaries relating to ones owns insecurities within the relationship; my issue with the situation is relating to the fact both her and I are single people, who have the ability to show interest in each other.

I personally feel them attempting to get me to conform to the culture around bro/girl code is disrespectful and ignorant, this is after many attempts of explaining my world view relating to relationships and how monogamy promotes domination and potential possession, stemmed from an insecurity.

PS; I don't think it wrong to feel an insecurity within a relationship, and if your insecurities aren't treated with the care they deserve then the relationship isn't fit and you should break up, and that's okay.

TLDR; I think the enforcement of monogamy among single people, friends or not is predatory and very enforcing of the patriarchal mindset of claiming people.

lmk what ppl think, and what the best course of action would be here, not inherently looking for relationship advice.
