Abstract
If successful, coupled with other reporters we envision multiple extensions of this "Randomizer", including a Memorizer that utilizes a hierarchy of XOR-calculations to "store" a multi-digit random number, and intriguing pattern generation involving chemical gradients and random "population behavior". In this case, the randomizer would work like a black box. As shown in the animation below, when there is an input as start, it would generate an output, either A or B randomly. Meanwhile, the memorizer will remember the output of randomizer, until the next randomizer output comes. So When randomizing events happen one after another, the XOR gate reporter could integrate the neighboring two outputs from randomizer( the former one remembered in memorizer), and fires if the two outputs are different.
