Hello,
I'm happy you enjoy them !
Let's mirror it for now, even if they will evoluate. It's a good thing.
The dimension concept can be easily explain with the exemple of the velocity
and the type of sample (soft, medium, loud).
It was just what was the link between random feature and the instrument
modelisation.
But truly, it's an interesting feature for including the chaos of reality in
the play. I will try this, using different articulations more than different
samples. The final referee will be my hears.
Thanks
Clément

Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the
world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference
attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through
interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies.
