Default Re: Random Magic Paths - is it truly random?

That equation looks very familiar, but I've misplace my book... (not my advance statistics books with all their distributions and tests, just the basic one).

Anyway, for anyone who stumble across this with some arcane pattern and thinks it might not be random, remember that radomness is elusive even to statisticians. Understanding randomness could be likened to understanding the actual magnitude of infinite. We can use it and test it, just like infinite, but our perception of it will never be quite accurate. So, consider a random number off of an infinitely long number line. . .
