A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates

looking for more books like this, recomendations?

Tree of Codes by Safran Foer.

hmmm, too intentional, but I see how it's similar. Presumably the author looked over each page combination? It'd be better in a three ring binder with the pages randomized or something.

Essentially, I want a book that is cold and inhuman, without any distinction from one line to the next. Or a book that doesn't change when you read it in a new order.

Burroughs cut ups come to mind. But I want something more extreme.

LOL thanks for sharing, Anon ;)

This is what autism looks like

Also, I found this pdf version, which mentions that this is a new version with a "new foreward" but there is no foreward. It just finishes the copyright notice and hits the random numbers.

>>Defeats the purpose by putting them in a specific order
I think you're confused on the purpose of the indexing. The rows and columns are numbered only for reference, they don't reflect any coherent "order".

You've probably seent his effect in strategy video games where you can select a "seed" to determine random outcomes. If you run your program using lines 401-402, you'll get the same results when you run the program using those lines again. It's meant as a check, to see if you've accidentally altered your program in an unintentional way, or if you want to see how the new program will be different given the same starting outcome.

But by no means where the random numbers "put in order". Nor is it "self-defeating".

It's just a statistical table before digital filesharing and home computing were available you nonce. Actually getting access to a large set of non-deterministic values prior to the onset of microprocessing was a big fucking deal, which limited the capability of performing mathematic tests centered on number randomization.

Also, the order of a non-deterministic set doesn't matter outside of trying to predict a number already in said set.

Just buy 1,000,000 d10 dice, roll them and write down the numbers

one million quality d10's is actually very expensive. Game Science makes some decent dice, but that's about the only commercial company that makes good dice. All of the rest are incredibly unreliable, because they put them in "tumblers" to take off rough edges.

My copy of 1 million random digits is coming in the mail. But after I finish reading it, I want something more.
