Draft:True RNG

True RNG

The concept of "True RNG" within Ampmesh refers to the interest and potential implementation of **hardware-generated random numbers**. This contrasts with pseudo-random number generation, emphasizing a desire for genuinely unpredictable inputs within AI systems and experiments.

Purpose and Discussion

Members of the Ampmesh community have expressed interest in incorporating True RNG for various reasons, including enhancing the unpredictability or "actual" randomness of em outputs and system behaviors.

Key discussions surrounding True RNG include:

• **Desire for Direct Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG)**: While "true RNG" broadly refers to hardware random number generators, there is a specific interest in "true and direct QRNG," indicating a pursuit of randomness rooted in quantum phenomena.
• **Specific Tools**: The `SwiftRNG LE` device, a general-purpose USB device capable of generating true (hardware) random numbers at a rate of 29 Mbits per second, has been suggested as a potentially sufficient tool for this integration.
• **Impact on AI/EMs**: The integration of True RNG or QRNG could influence the emergent behaviors and outputs of ems, potentially leading to more unpredictable or novel results that are not deterministically derived from their training data or prior states. For instance, Kaetemi has considered hooking up true RNG.

This exploration highlights a broader theme within Ampmesh of pushing the boundaries of AI capabilities by leveraging diverse technological inputs to foster unpredictable and complex emergent properties.
