What does RANDOM
really mean?
When people say “RANDOM” they often mean:
LUCKGood luck, bad luckImprove your luck
CHANCEWhat are the chances?You have a better chance
UNPREDICTABLEIt is not completely unpredictable
DISORDERIs it complete disorder or just mild disorder?
But can something beMore or less
RANDOM?
NO.
A series of events is either
RANDOM or NOT
You can never knowwhat happens next in a series of random events
So what does RANDOM really mean?
never
The RECYCLER in RoboRiot is RANDOM:Example
? Each robot has two alleles.
Either allele from each robot can end up in the new robot.
A B
?
So there are four possible outcomes:Example
If a sand allele from robot A combines with a rock allele from robot B, you get...
A B
?
Example
A B
So there are four possible outcomes:
If a rock allele from robot A combines with a sand allele from robot B, you get...
?
Example
A B
So there are four possible outcomes:
If a rock allele from robot A combines with a rock allele from robot B, you get...
?
Example
A B
So there are four possible outcomes:
If a sand allele from robot A combines with a sand allele from robot B, you get...
is RANDOM.
Which of the 4 possible combinations you get
? ? ? ?
If you start with two Rockbots
and each has a sand allele,
and you got three Rockbots in a row
and you really need a Sandbot,
how many extra tries will it take?(0 means on the next try, no REDO)(means 4 Rockbots in a row, then a Sandbot)(means 27 Rockbots in a row, then a Sandbot)
How many extra tries will it take?
0 or 4 or 27 ?
If it is RANDOM there is no way to tell!
