A random noise generator attached to the COM port, PCI bus, or other input is a random input, but does not produce unpredictable outcomes. The reason being is that given input X, the program will execute instruction Y. While it may not be possible to determine ahead of time what X will be, it is possible to determine ahead of time the complete X to Y mapping, and therefore completely determine what the computer will do under all possible inputs.whatta said:So you only need some physical noise generator attached to COM port, and voila - you now can write a program with unpredictable outcomes. Yay, I guess AI problem has just been solved!
So what is "we"? What is entity breaking the rules? A spirit? A soul?
