In a philosophical context, stochastic usually points to a process that is modeled with randomness over time (a “random process”).

Random and stochastic are often treated as closely related in meaning, but stochastic focuses on the process, and probability focuses on assigning likelihoods.

Stochastic refers to processes that involve randomness and can be modeled statistically, while Randomness denotes unpredictability in individual events. Probabilistic relates to the likelihood of various outcomes, often used to describe systems where outcomes can be quantified in terms of probability distributions.
