One of the principles of turing machines is that they are deterministic. In that vain, there exists no programmable RNG except for pseudo random ones. One has to ask oneself if piping a transform of the digits of a transcendental real number is a violation to this rule -- thus what is random really? Is random the lack of ability to find a correlation or program to reproduce it -- or is it something more like Komogrolov complexity? These are tough and inscrutable questions. Shannon, Turing, Curry, Church, Post, and others explored them deeply. Information theory gets extremely existential and esoteric. Is randomness a monad of our universe? Or is physicals and natural chaos just extremely leathery when it comes to extracting the generating program? Our lives depend on it. But either way, we'll carry on. Nature you goddamn enigma. |
