Summary
[edit]DescriptionBlack square with one random white pixel (5384851835).gif |
I still have not found any references to a "general theory of searching and finding". So I'm playing around with the concept of "search" and "search space". If you have any references for me I will be grateful. (But please *not* the Knuth book. I'm looking for a generalized, philosophical treatment, not computer algorithms.) This is a one in a million chance. But our parallel visual processing makes this "needle in a haystack" easy to find. If you want to see the pixel best - you have to choose the large format. But it's visible in the normal size too. Using: <a href="http://www.processing.org" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.processing.org</a> <a href="http://www.random.org" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.random.org</a> Random numbers: 915 - 990 Timestamp: 2011-01-24 19:41:21 UTC There is always the temptation to reject the random outcome - those numbers seem too close together - they do not feel really random. But this outcome is just as probable as any other outcome. |
