Randomness 101: The Primer

Randomness is the absence of pattern or predictability in the aggregrate of all possible outcomes.

For example, flipping a coin can be a random act, but the outcome is not truly random if the coin is biased.

Types of Randomness:

• Aptamatic Randomness - The art of creating randomness through deliberate patterns.
• Chaotic Randomness - The randomness of a system that is completely out of control.
• Pseudo-Randomness - The illusion of randomness created through clever algorithms.
