\textit{S. Shelah} and \textit{J. Spencer} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 1, 97--115 (1988; Zbl 0647.05051)] proved a 0-1 law for random graphs with edge probability \(n^{-\alpha}\) for irrational \(\alpha\); \textit{J. T. Baldwin} and \textit{S. Shelah} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 349, 1359--1376 (1997; Zbl 0952.03029)] showed that the almost sure theory was precisely that of the corresponding generic structure. In this paper, the author extends the analysis -- and the result -- to random graphs over \({\mathbb F}_q\)-vector spaces, or over a successor function. In particular, he proves that in those cases there is a strictly stable, complete and nearly model-complete theory axiomatizing the generic structure, which in the case of successor is the almost sure theory of random expansions of successor with edge probability \(n^{-\alpha}\). In order to deal with closure under the vector space or successor structure, the author considers extensions \(B\supset A\) with \(\delta(B/A)=0\) to be intrinsic (i.e.\ algebraic). This does not matter since \(1\) and the weights \(\alpha\) of the random relations are supposed to be linearly independent over \(\mathbb Q\), but may confuse the reader familiar with the usual Hrushovski amalgamation. The bibliography is selective.
