Due to the limitations of mechanical devices’ deterministic systems, pseudo-random number generators are helpful but aren’t truly random. They aren’t as random as something quite as unpredictable as background radiation, electrical noise, or even the behavior of a toddler. In the name of scientific inquiry, a puritanical view of the term randomness, and most importantly an excuse to let me look after my kid during the workday without paying for expensive daycare, this paper ...
