Novel Techniques for Random Number Generation: Toddler Behavioral Sampling

Abstract

Random number generation is the backbone of any type of simulation. Due to the limitations of mechanical devices’ deterministic systems, pseudo-random number generators are helpful but aren’t truly random. They aren’t as random as something quite as unpredictable as background radiation, electrical noise, or even the behavior of a toddler. In the name of scientific inquiry, a puritanical view of the term randomness, and most importantly an excuse to let me look after my kid during the workday without paying for expensive daycare, this paper aims to develop and evaluate the use of sampling toddlers to generate a random sequence of numbers because climate scientists believe that engineers will soon run out of random number generation seeds by 2039[1].
