Cyphox & BlakeForge
BlakeForge
You ever notice how a simple substitution cipher can mimic a chaotic system? I was just thinking about that.
Cyphox
I’ve seen it myself – a key is just a permutation, but once you start iterating it you get the same kind of unpredictability that chaos does. The trick is to spot the hidden order in the mess.
BlakeForge
Right, chaos is just a permutation with its clock turned up, and the real trick is finding that rhythm before it blows up into noise.
Cyphox
Yeah, the rhythm is the only thing that keeps the noise from becoming useless. If you can lock onto that beat, the whole thing falls into place.
BlakeForge
Got it, lock the beat and the noise just folds into the pattern it always wanted to be.
