chaos vs entropy: 1, is there anything else? i don't think that we have well established knowledge that the world has any randomness at all. maybe quantum stuff does that, but it is far from well understood. 2, why not chaos? we do know that it is impossible to learn every information about a system. and if it is chaotic, our predictions diverge from reality exponentially with time. this means that there is an amount of time in which the inevitable initial errors lead to completely unpredictable state. if we choose this time as our sampling interval, chaos is perfect entropy. _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list [email protected] http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
