    Hold something for a trophie and have no idea what it is. Even if its a bomb or some carma the enemy set up to find out where you live.

    Examining something that was hit by the walking chaos ,will get you very unreliable data.

    You need another source of chaos. When two sources of a chaotic source mix they produce a third thing that has a pattern and harmony.

      Two data streams convoluted by the same portion of a single random or pseudorandom stream may work like that. Real chaos, with separate chaos each time? Not so much, as Haylo points out below.

      It’s easy to think it works like that when you use computers too much, because pseudorandom is a lot cheaper than true random, but still rather expensive. So sometimes the random and pseudorandom gets reused, and by “sometimes” I mean pretty much all the time with any software that’s not written to be cryptographically secure. Note that this includes a certain amount of software that is advertised as being cryptographically secure, and sometimes the fault is with the OS rather than the cryptographically secure OS.

      Also, to be clear, one of the big faults of pseudorandom is that it can be re-used without the data being forked to two or more processes. Or is that “the big fault of”?

    The laws of arithmetic for Chaos are rather…odd. Anything plus Chaos is a different Chaos, and the sum of two Chaos is not twice as much Chaos but a third Chaos of the same amount as either of the first two. Naturally, since Order is a (vanishingly small) subset of Chaos, any new Chaos just might happen to contain Order, but that Order has no relationship to any other Order which was added into the Chaos.

    What in the world do they mean by ‘was it the lemonade’?

      Check the last page, “mom and dad thought you might want lemonaid”, that’s said mom and dad.
