It might be clearer if you allow yourself some repetition to clarify that it's point and counterpoint. For instance, "the universal with a single random incident, and the singular with a million random incidents." Also I prefer keeping the "million"which is more pointed than "myriad."

That said, I don't know what the author means but, if you do, you can adapt this into something better.
