    Thus, a random word generator was researched and then developed in PL/I. Instead of being based on phonemes , the system employed phonemic segments (second order approximations of English) and other rules to enhance pronounceability and randomness, which was statistically modeled against other approaches.

    The generator of any continuous symmetry implied by Noether's theorem, the generators of a Lie group being a special case. In this case, a generator is sometimes called a charge or Noether charge, examples include: angular momentum as the generator of rotations, [3] linear momentum as the generator of translations, [3]

    Remaining 74 bits are random seeded counter (optional, at least 12 bits but no longer than 42 bits) and random. Two counter rollover handling methods can be used together: Zero seeded most significant, leftmost guard bit of the counter. Increment of the timestamp ahead of the actual time and reinitialize the counter when it overflows.

  6. /dev/random - Wikipedia

    In Unix-like operating systems, /dev/random and /dev/urandom are special files that serve as cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generators (CSPRNGs). They allow access to a CSPRNG that is seeded with entropy (a value that provides randomness) from environmental noise, collected from device drivers and other sources.

    Figure 3 shows a Single Image Random Text Stereogram (SIRTS) based on the same idea as a Single Image Random Dot Stereogram . The word "Hi" in relief can be seen when the image clicks into place. () Some people have included stereograms in their "signature" at the end of electronic mail messages and news articles. Figure 4 is such an example.
