Abstract

A system, method, and device for stochastically processing data. There is an architect module operating on a processor configured to manage and control stochastic processing of data, a non-deterministic data pool module configured to provide a stream of non-deterministic values that are not derived from a function, a plurality of functionally equivalent data processing modules each configured to stochastically process data as called upon by the architect module, a data feed configured to feed a data set desired to be stochastically processed, and a structure memory module including a memory storage device and configured to provide sufficient information for the architect module to duplicate a predefined processing architecture and to record a utilized processing architecture.

Claims

1. A method of generating seed values for use in a random number generator, comprising the steps of:

a. receiving a timestamp;

b. determining a difference between the timestamp and an uncertain zero point in time, using a processor, thereby determining an offset;

c. expressing the offset through a plurality of time units, using a processor, each time unit having a corresponding uncertain scale value, thereby generating a set of delta values;

d. multiplying each delta value in the set of delta values by the corresponding uncertain scale value, using a processor, associated with the time unit, thereby generating a set of addends; and

e. summing the addends using a processor, thereby generating a seed value.
