Speaking of cryptography (harhar), I was contemplating an idea to generate random streams of random numbers using chaos theory (not the first), specifically the logistic equation [3.5x(1-x)], when I came across the argument (http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~wagner/laws/chaos.html) that such generators are "psuedo-random", but I don't think is true.
I would suggest to make a toy implementation say in pari/gp or sagemath and then evaluate it. [...] Per rough memories the number Pi failed the crypto randomness test. According to some "there is order in chaos, especially fractals" ;)
That raises an interesting question: if this is true, then pi may be a phenomenon of external sources. For example, pi could be equal to 2.0... on a curved surface, namely a sphere (equator and the longitudinal diameter through the pole = 2.0). There is something that keeps pi on a flat surface to give it it`s irrational value. (How can you be sure of your measure without the concept of "perfectly flat"?) Marxos
