    In this comprehensive exploration of randomness, we delve into its perplexing nature, historical journey, statistical interpretations, and pivotal role in various domains, particularly cryptography. Randomness, an enigmatic concept defying intuition, manifests through seemingly unpredictable sequences like coin flips or digits of pi, yet its true nature is only indirectly inferred through statistical tests.
    The historical narrative reveals humanity's earliest encounters with randomness in gaming across ancient civilizations, progressing through Greek philosophy, Roman personification, Christian teachings, and mathematical analysis by Italian scholars and luminaries like Galileo, Pascal, and Fermat. Entropy, introduced in the 19th century, unveiled the limits of predictability, especially in complex systems like celestial mechanics.
    Statistical randomness, derived from probability theory, relies on uniform distribution and independence of events in a sample space. However, its limitation lies in perceivable unpredictability, as exemplified by the digits of pi or coin flips, which exhibit statistical randomness yet remain reproducible given precise initial conditions.
    Information theory, notably Claude Shannon's work, established entropy as a measure of uncertainty and information content, showcasing randomness as the opposite of predictability in a system. Algorithmic randomness, introduced by von Mises and refined by Kolmogorov, measures randomness through compressibility but faces challenges due to computability. Martin-Löf's work extends this notion by defining randomness based on null sets.
    The integration of randomness into computer science led to the emergence of randomized algorithms, divided into Las Vegas and Monte Carlo categories, offering computational advantages. Encryption, crucial in modern communications, relies on randomness for secure key generation, facing challenges due to vulnerabilities in pseudorandom algorithms and hardware random number generators.
    The evolution of cryptography, from DES to AES and asymmetric-key algorithms like RSA, emphasizes the critical role of randomness in securing digital communications. While hardware random number generators harness inherent physical unpredictability, they face challenges regarding auditability and potential vulnerabilities.
    The future of randomness lies in embedded quantum random number generators, promising heightened security, while encryption algorithms adapt to counter emerging threats posed by quantum computing's properties.
    This in-depth exploration captures the historical, theoretical, and practical dimensions of randomness, highlighting its significance in diverse fields and its pivotal role in securing modern communications.

    There is so much information in this video I'm going to save it and go over it again. My "back of the envelope" definition of randomness is a sequence or pattern for which we cannot currently develop a process to duplicate it. Implied is the idea that future knowledge may indeed be able to develop a predictive process so patterns considered random today may not be so in the future. But given the inherent uncertainty of quantum mechanics, at the bottom, there are patterns that can never be reconstructed and thus can be considered truly random. TH-cam constantly amazes me with the vast depth of its content.

      That is true randomness. There are also pseudorandom numbers which are good enough. So you can use what little entropy you already have to seed a PRNG. So a really good math formula plus things such as the system timer (determined by when you loaded the software in relation to when you started the computer) and maybe other non-deterministic things in the system may be good enough for most situations.

    I've spent over 40 years developing models and doing statistical analytics. During that time, two concepts have always fascinated me ... 1) the notion of "randomness" and 2) "nothing". After all this time and in the big picture, I'm convinced that randomness does not and never will exist because of cause and effect. Even entropy is predictable. Isn't that strange?

      That's right. Randomness is not a fundamental property of existence. Even in quantum mechanics, which is known for its probabilistic character, there is no randomness at the fundamental level. It is true that the squared amplitude of the wave function indicates the probability with which a quantum event may be observed. But the apparent randomness of events that results from this calculation is not a fundamental property of reality, but merely a result of the limited perspective of the observer. In reality, the result of the calculation does not indicate a probability, but describes the landscape of the multiverse, in which the calculated number indicates the distribution of possible worlds with a certain outcome. Randomness does not exist. This is an important insight because it means that there is nothing arbitrary about our existence.

      However, as the video notes, the output of a PRNG is useless if an attacker knows the original input. Suppose I initialize my sooper seekret system with "the number of seconds elapsed since midnight on the day I turned it on." Well, that's only 86,400 possible values to check!

    • @andersjjensen
      @andersjjensen 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Another commonly used method is to constantly reseed a pseudo random function with the output of the hardware random number generator. This is especially useful in systems that either don't have a hardware random number generator, but instead uses an amalgamation of hardware and software interrupts along with other seemingly random system events, or systems which has a particularly slow RNG.
      The PRNG on UNIX-like systems (MacOS, Linux, BSD, IBM AIX, etc) is, by specification, repeatable. That is, if you seed it with "5" you'll get the exact same output every time. This can be useful in games for instance. The problem with this, however, is that if you use it for randomness it's easy to test for known sequences. Constantly reseeding it will just royally confuse an attacker who sees a known sequence, and expects to have found the seed.

I would have liked to seen his ideas further fleshed out in the ideas of Conway's Game of Life, cellular automata, and more so into computational irreducibility as presented by Wolfram. To me, this is the most accurate way to view informational randomness. It allows for finite states that lead to unpredictable outcomes, due to nothing more than iteration and an inability to compute it, intractability. Still, great video!

    The casino gaming industry uses chi-squared distribution as a means test for the RNG. Also secure random numbers are a thing in modern SoC such as Snapdragon. The SoC or CPU as most call it contains a hardware root of trust (HROT) that performs a secure random as well as some basic secure transforms. This is completely independent of the CPU or GPU accelerators and the memory they use. The Trusted Operating System (TEE-OS) takes ownership of the TPU once the system starts up. Also another feature is PUF memory used for making unique and immutable ID for each SoC used for encryption processing.

I was convinced this was not possible. Not sure if this video suggests I'm wrong, because I'm no mathematician.

    An important caveat is that information is in the 'model' of the physical world, not the physical world itself. Randomness, as incomplete information, can be fundamental to a 'model', but not fundamental to the physical world. Thinking of it as such would be a demarcation error. There very may well be something equivalent to randomness in the physical world, but it would have a different label, just like entropy in information theory must be noted as different from entropy in physics.
    The idea of randomness in physics is that there were these preceding paradigms, like atom theory, where behaviours were much less predictable due to incomplete information about what caused the variations within the behaviour of individual atoms. Older models like atom theory underwent scientific revolution as anomalies (falsifications of the hypothesis that atoms were irreducible) formed a concrete necessity for the model of the physical world to be corrected with a new more basic unit of measure, the quanta, which at that point in time was considered irreducible by means of accurate measurement.
    The problem with this is that continued random behaviour in quanta pretty much suggested that the hypothesis of quanta as an irreducible unit was incorrect, but that the physics was still 'useful', just as the physics of atom theory is useful. Early quantum physicists realized they could bypass the problem by expressing unpredictable values as a range rather than a single constant, and predicting all possible generations that could occur from the 'seeds' of that range.
    This is strictly different from saying randomness is fundamental to the physical world. It is fundamental to Quantum Mechanics, our current best informational model of the world. But there is a possibility we are not at the end of history, and physics has more revolutions ahead of it as our measure of quanta improves.
    As Norbert Wiener put it in The Human Use of Human Beings:
    "In Gibbs' view we have a physical quantity which belongs not to the outside world as such, but to certain sets of possible outside worlds, and therefore answers to certain specific questions which we can ask concerning the outside world.
    Physics now becomes not the discussion of an outside universe which may be regarded as the total answer to all the questions concerning it, but an account of the answers to much more limited questions.
    In fact, we are now no longer concerned with the study of all possible outgoing and incoming messages which we may send and receive, but with the theory of much more specific outgoing and incoming messages; and it involves a measurement of the no-longer infinite amount of information that they yield us."

    Nothing truly happens randomly; even what appears random is simply a result of our inability to accurately calculate it. Take, for example, playing snooker: when you hit the white ball into a group of colored balls, their final positions may seem random to us because we can't predict exactly where they'll end up. However, if we had all the necessary information, such as the force, angle, and resistance of the table, a math expert could calculate precisely where each ball would go. Therefore, what we perceive as randomness is often just a lack of understanding or information.
    Everything happens for a reason, even if we can't figure it out yet.
    Randomness is like a mystery. It seems like things happen by chance, but there's always a cause we might not know.
    Imagine flipping a coin. It lands on heads or tails, seemingly random. But if you knew the exact force you flipped it with, the angle it spun, and every tiny bump on the coin and surface, a super powerful computer could predict the outcome.
    We experience randomness because we often don't have all the information. The world is predictable, but our knowledge can be limited.

    A sensor that can only be activated by a high energy particle, connected to a key generator that constantly changes value based on other connected quantum inputs, would be the most locally random sequence that could possibly be generated. The key is constantly changing, for example, based on something like radioactive decay, and only the high energy particles can "choose" or push the actual digit that gets used, into memory. This is only locally random because "we" can't trace it. The fact that it happens so predictably that we can build this pseudo RNG from it, means that at the heart of it, it is NOT random at all...

This leaves me wondering whether there would be differences in the noise pattern on differnt frequencies. Also the sampling frequency of the noise would make it different. So is it actually used or has this technique some flaws, like it would be biased based on the Suns activity?

      Yes, it's an interesting idea. The flaw in it, however, is that the FM receiver, as designed, must have a finite bandwidth. So even though the incoming cosmic noise may be seriously random, the receiver introduces a correlation between successive outputs.
      To justify this, imagine a highly tuned receiver with an super-narrow bandwidth. In the frequency domain, this bandwidth has the spectrum of an oscillator, which is likely to just resonate. Not very random!

The very fact that we can observe persistent macroscopic objects, that can move true time and space (planets, galaxies, animals, rocks...), that do exhibit soe level of order, means that true randomness doesn't exist. If it did, everything would be unimaginable chaos and no persistence would be possible on macroscopic level. The perceived randomness of quantum mechanics can be explained in many ways, that do not require real randomness. For example many worlds interpretation tells us, that all possibilities do actually happen simultaneously, which doesn't leave room for randomness. Also, our inability to measure the position and velocity of an electron simultaneously (for example) comes from the fact, that to do a measurement means to interact with the electron, which will disturb its state, so the information obtained will have uncertainty, which says nothing about the state of the electron itself, without being measured. The quantum uncertainty is a measurement problem, even if it is a principal such and can't be avoided.

    0:23: “normal numbers” - how many of these do you know? I aware of just two, the Champernowne and Erdős constants. There's a proof that _almost all_ reals are normal, but it doesn't let you turn the thing around on its head and say “π is normal because probability of otherwise is negligible”)
    5:29: From i.i.d., a random sequence inherits unpredictability - sorry, you've lost me here.
    6:16: “Objective randomness” is completely determined by _your own_ operational definition of “objective.“
    7:44: **Super, thank you!** Randomness, however it be defined, is immeasurable. Could you please clout that into the heads of the probability class students?
    7:48: The split is a non-split. I believe the lecture would benefit from even a short proof of equivalence of the two, superficially incompatible views on probability. There is no “maths“ or “phys” probability. There's only probability.
    8:20: This is somewhat unconventional. We don't usually associate an _interpretation_ of probability with the _domain of knowledge._
    9:03: As a physicist for 40+ years, I don't believe in a (the?) “fundamental nature of reality” (FNR). The FNR experiences significant changes every 30 years or so. (My undergrad textbooks are good as the fireplace kindle tho.) Either the reality is prone to such quick changes, or... You see the direction I'm pointing to. It's we, not the _it._
    9:10: No, no, no, no, no! No mathematical concept is the fundamental part of “existence” - I read “existence=“the real world.” By this bold exclamation, I invite all Platonist mathematicians to Platonise me, slowly and utterly unpleasantly, up to the fundamental nonexistence, or, worse, existence in the Platonic domain, with no space or time, but only truths. Who wants truths for the taking, not for a lifetime struggle with the having of discovering them?

    16:46: There is NO difference between pseudo-randomness and chaos.

    What are the chances that anything can happen by chance? Nothing can happen by chance because chance cannot do anything. I once had a discussion with a professor at Harvard who said to me the universe was created by chance. I pushed him a little bit on this, used a coin to illustrate the problem. I said, “If I have a fifty-cent piece and flip it up in the air, what are the chances that it comes up heads?” He says, “50/50.” I said, “OK, how much influence does chance exert on the flip of the coin?” He said, “What do you mean?” I said: “Well, the way it comes up heads or tails is determined by how much pressure is exerted on it, what the density of the atmosphere is, how many revolutions it takes, and so on, whether you catch it here, or here, or here, and whether after you catch it you turn it over or don’t turn it over. Those are all the variables. How much influence does chance have?”
    He still didn’t get it. I said: “Well, look. If you’re using the term chance to talk about mathematical possibilities, it’s a perfectly useful term. But when we ascribe to chance a power to do something, we are saying the chance is something. Now, what is it? What is this mysterious X factor that causes the coin to come up tails or heads?” He still looked at me, and I said, “Wait a minute.”
    I said, “Chance cannot do anything because chance is not anything.” For something to act, it must first what? Be. Chance is not a thing; it’s no thing; it’s nothing. When you say to me that the universe was created by chance, you are saying the same thing as saying the universe was created by nothing, and you’ve taken a perfectly good word to describe mathematical possibilities and now informed it with magical power. Giving it ontological status, giving it power to do something when it is not anything, and that is the principal idea that is used as a substitute for creation.
    Now, I know there are some who argue that the universe is eternal and always has been here. That’s another question, but the vast majority of critics today who deny the creation of this world by a self-existent, eternal God appeal to some kind of beginning to all of reality that comes from nothing. It’s the rabbit out of the hat-without a hat, without a rabbit, without a magician. It’s worse than magic; it’s pure mythology. R.C. Sproul

    I see the number 44 all the time. It can be a watch.. 13:44.. It can be a house number. It can be the timer on my instant pot that I can only see when I get to another room..Anyways 2 days ago, when the night was very bright. I knew it must be around full moon. So next day I googeled "new moon" (never googeled anything about the moon before), to see when that would be.. Well it will be Feb 10th at 00:00:44 here in Esbjerg Denmark.. The odds that it will happen in that second is. 1 : 60x60x24 = Or 1 to 86400. The chance is 100%..The chance that I would look it up that day was 100%.But 0 % the day before.. Seen over a lifetime where I have never thought about it. And will probably never google it again. It all seems "strange". Another "strange thing" is, that if I had lived just a few miles away from here. New moon would have been at a different time..(The world is 510 mill km2. The area where 00:00:44 is real might be 100 km2). Randomness ?.Well I am a bit freaked out about it.

    Computation model of Universe
    Classical computation is 2 dimensional.
    Where classical computation is a function of space and time.
    Where we can only compute in 1 and 0.
    Time is a derivative of 2d computation with iteration.
    When we parallelise 2d computation it rise to space.
    Quantum computation is 3 dimensional in potential . Where time and space collapse.
    Let us model the universe with this idea.
    the quantum scale is infinite precision computing.
    The universe is zero precision.
    Scale is a gradient of precision.
    Time is a function of delta precision.
    delta precision in precision gradient is space.
    From microscopic to macro gravity is a symptoms of relative growth between objects in that scale.
    We can derive that from the bifurcation map where r 0 to 4 can me map into world scale. Plank scale would be 4 and observable universe is 0.
    From this assumptions, we derive both zero precision and infinite precision is stateless. Therefore no computation.
    Therefore, zero and infinite precision is both non temporal and non spacial.
    Space and all the dynamics are in between these two point.
    Now, we can model the universe with bifurcation map.
    Where plank scale would be r value 4.
    And observable universe would be r value 0.
    From this we can derive the motion for every subsystem in their relative scale. 13:07

    There are scales in our universe that are so immense, it's understandable if we can barely grasp them. There's so much yet to learn in science. It's hard for us to comprehend dynamic chaotic systems. Especially vast systems. What if at those immense scales, we don't yet fully grasp how things fully work? Like density, mass, Electromagnetism, static charges, fluid dynamics, temperature, pressure, radiation, velocity, etc. *I think there is a lot left to learn about these behaviors on VAST scales throughout our cosmos? I hope we continuously try to improve our understanding of the cosmos over time because it would be foolish to think we fully understand these things. Especially when talking about scales of galactic filaments, multiple galaxies interacting, and many more cosmic bodies & structures. We are getting better & better but some things are just so vast it's understandable we don't yet fully grasp them yet. I'm curious to see where things go as we advance our ability to study these things.

    The video didn't differentiate between a truly random seed number used in a pseudo random number generator and a sequence of all truly random numbers. Like the German and Japanese WW2 encryption methods that could be broken and were broken. A truly random number can never be broken. That is the definition of a random number. So a sequence of all truly random numbers takes the place of any of the previous encryption methods.
    And the way to use this unbreakable encryption is pretty simple. So simple a 5 year old child can understand it. Your command center would generate sequence of all truly random numbers, say a billion, and distribute a different set to each general delivered by hand. If any of the sets were stolen that set is just discarded. None of the sets could ever be broken since none of the random numbers are used more than once. A random number can never be broken. Ever.

    Randomness is not a fundamental property of existence. Even in quantum mechanics, which is known for its probabilistic character, there is no randomness at the fundamental level. It is true that the squared amplitude of the wave function indicates the probability with which a quantum event may be observed. But the apparent randomness of events that results from this calculation is not a fundamental property of reality, but merely a result of the limited perspective of the observer. In reality, the result of the calculation does not indicate a probability, but describes the landscape of the multiverse, in which the calculated number indicates the distribution of possible worlds with a certain outcome. Randomness does not exist. This is an important insight because it means that there is nothing arbitrary about our existence.
