Cipher text can look a lot like randomness to the uninformed observer. If a deterministic system produces results, but the observer cannot model the underlying process from the results, are those results now random?

Now might be a good time to brush up on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell's_theorem

Though non-local hidden variable theories need to be reconciled with special relativity lest it be possible to transmit information faster than light.

Enter the implicate (folded) order of the holoverse ("holographic universe"), which Bohm (among others) developed and supported.

See the non-local, higher-ordering properties of true holograms and eg. this mixed fluid experiment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpJ-kGII074

More on all this in Michael Talbot's amazing book "Holographic Universe": https://wikischool.org/book/holographic_universe
