Abstract

According to some embodiments, a system comprises a generator of a truly random signal is connected to an input and feedback device for the purpose of providing a user with real time feedback on the random signal. The user observes a representation of the signal in the process of an external physical event for the purpose of finding a correlation between the random output and what happens during the physical event. In some examples, the system is preferably designed such the system is shielded from all classically known forces such as gravity, physical pressure, motion, electromagnetic fields, humidity, etc. and/or, such classical forces are factored out of the process as much as possible. The system is thus designed to be selectively response to signals from living creatures, in particular, humans.

Claims

1. A method of monitoring a series of true random numbers, said method composing:

using a hardware device to produce an analog noise signal, to converting said analog noise signal to a true random sequence of signals, and to carry out monitoring of said true random sequence of signals for anomalies along with evaluation of said anomalies in relation to one or more time-based events or occurrences.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of monitoring said sequence of signals for deviations from true random sequences, and for the time period of said deviations, comparing said time period of said deviations with events during said time periods.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising the step of correlating said deviations with interpersonal happenings.

4. The method of claim 2, further comprising the step of correlating said deviations with interpersonal happenings in real time.

5. The method of claim 2, where the output of the device is used to make business decisions.

6. The method of claim 2, where the output of the device is used to help gauge the performance of individuals.

7. The method of claim 2, where the output of the device is used to measure whether individuals in a group are in agreement with one another, “

on the same page,”

“

resonant,”

or “

coherent.”

8. The method of claim 2, where users are able to enter textual, audio, or visual input into the device to describe the subjective nature of the event being recorded.

9-10. -10. (canceled)

11. A portable device, wherein said device is configured to provide a notification or reminder to the user at times which can not be predicted.

12. The device of claim 11, where the timing of the events is driven by a random physical process.

13. The device of claim 12, wherein said random physical process comprises quantum varying phenomena, such as, for example, Johnson noise, Quantum Tunneling, and/or Photon Scattering.

14. A device of claim 11 or 12, wherein said device is configured to perform the step of calculating to compare sampled randomness to its theoretical expectation for the purpose of altering the time at which a reminder event is triggered.

15. The device of claim 11, wherein said device is configured to provide a reminder to the user at times which can not be predicted but are psychologically meaningful.

16. The device of claim 11, wherein the reminder contains a message.

17. The device of claim 11, wherein the reminder contains a randomly selected message.

18. The device of claim 16 or 17, wherein the reminder contains a randomly selected message that comes from a body of messages entered by the user or user(s) at some earlier point in time.

19-62. -62. (canceled)

63. A device which uses the output of a fundamentally random process for the purpose of changing the color or state of a physical apparatus.

64. A device of claim 63, wherein the physical apparatus changes its color or state based on the output of one or more light emitting diodes.

65. A device of claim 64, wherein the output of the light emitting diodes is blended together to form colors which are different from the color of any individual light emitting diode.
