THE 'SEVEN RULES' OF SOLARIS and the ALTRUISM LOTTERY PROJECT

IF YOU DO NOT PLAY THE GAME, YOU WILL NOT WIN THE GAME. If we do play, we can expect wins based on odds but the actual win will never be just as equal to the ODDS. In other words, a few can win randomly, most will not.

IF YOU PLAY FROM A RANDOM LIST, HOWEVER GENERATED, YOUR RESULT WILL STILL BE RANDOM

IF WE PLAY FROM A PROPRIETARY LIST, WE WILL HAVE PROPRIETARY RESULTS. yu

IF you do the same thing then expect you'll ge... [ More ]

Maxwell suggests all things transmit and receive... Suggesting that all things are connected... All at once...

Good wishes to you too, EddessaKnight.

Bohm and Faraday were great evidence-based thinkers.

Since information can't travel faster than light/photons (according to all observations by everyone to date), there is a limit to the connectedness.

OKAY EDESSA... i posted a winning greater list for mega billions

did you pay attention and play from the list... do you ever play from any list i share...

i wrote you saying all our words and numbers are nothing unless we do something with them

you posted this comment above and i suppose it may be true, but it is not worth any more than a list of random numbers

which is what most people look for and the only system they seem to have...its all fauci and bhellgate and false identi... [ More ]

Thanks Wavepack

Alternatively Consider:

The re is nothing in the Universe but mathematical points of force. Vibration is fundamental Nothing is exempt from this law. It is universal therefore applicable to every class of phenomena on the globe.

~Michael Faraday

All things in nature can be represented by numbers and when numbers, from any source are grafted, they show a pattern therefore we can see patterns everywhere. Everything in the world is full of signs. All events

To my knowledge the best way to mitigate this is to use a true random seeding method for the PRNG, like from a hardware RNG that uses atmospheric noise, in the broadest sense.

The language that a PRNG is implemented in and the device's operating system also affect the performance of a PRNG. It's unlikely that IGT and Scientific Games use Python on the back end of the devices they sell to state lotteries, I believe the operating systems they use are proprietary, though I suspect they are usin...

I started reading some papers on PRNGs (pseudo-random number generators) that are considered cryptographically secure. To my great surprise, these PRNG did not have maximal length cycles. Not only that, some had very short cycles! This means (to me) that if you seed such a PRNG with a seed that starts in a short cycle, you'll get a bunch of repeats, and it won't appear random!

NaCl has a cryptographically secure PRNG. NaCl is a widely used cryptographic library (for Python coders, PyNaCl (so... [ More ]
