Cycle Log 6

What's better than a single pass through our global 65,000-entry alphabet file with a cryptographic random function? 50 parallel simultaneous passes of our global segmented repeating alphabet file! This is effectively like attempting to capture more instances of the quantum data simultaneously. We went from the one-pixel quantum camera, so to speak, to a 50-pixel camera. We take the letter at the index that the cryptographic random function lands at in the file, and we convert it into its numerical value, where a is 1, b is 2, etc. We add up the value of all 50 passes, average it, and round it. Then, we take this number and remap it to a letter, and then this letter is mapped to one of 26 different emojis. The idea is, if someone on the other side was trying to hit the emoji for “happy” 40 times but it got skewed 10 times on either side of that because of timing or fluctuations within the random field, then averaging it might give a clearer emotional cue that is sent along with the actual words to be displayed in the message log and in the streaming component.

Update: I decided that it would be better to take the ‘highest’ number of times that a letter was selected out of 50 and use that as the emoji instead. If there’s a 2 or 3 way tie, it’ll post all the emojis on the display. We get all 50 values with crypto.random in parallel to act as a true quantum “snapshot” of 50 “eyes” looking simultaneously.
