Randomness is incomplete information

Hi WGUnruh, Holy poo... what an honor to meet you !

I saw this link of yours when I Googled: "W.G. Unruh" site:Physics.UBC.CA

I'm surprized that you're so much into Linux and audio, especially here in UsenetLand.

Looking at your UserInterface:

I found the text a bit cramped and hard to read.

I recommend using a monospaced font, 80 columns, in a maximized window, ...irregardless of the size of your monitor or screen resolution. For example, this is what my VisualStudioEditor looks like:

I find that layout less distracting, for one thing. But, I must admit, others don't find it so appealing.

When I switch to various screen-printer resolutions, the font I get often has odd height-width ratios despite the fact that I asked for a very specific hieght.

My solution was to place each character using only floating point numbers, padding each one with the appropriate intercharacter and interline spacing so as to maintain a consistent hightwidth ratio at any resolution.

Speaking of WinXP and your models, such as the one at: www.Theory.Physics.UBC.CA-synth.html You told me:

They use xforms as the user interface. They are promarily about the user interface, demonstrating fourier addition and playing the composite form through the speaker. I wrote it primarily to demonstrate that the ear is highly insensitive to phase differences of the harmonics, but also to analyse sections of sound for their fourier transforms.

Does it runs on WinXP under a windows manager ? Either way, maybe I could help you make your models a bit more user friendly.

For the last 12 to 13 years I've been coding games that bankers play with each other to learn about FDIC regulations, interestratesensitivity, securites, etc.

This is the professor I work for, Chip Haley:

By the way, I posit that randomness is incomplete information. Randomness is ever virtual, never real. What say you to that ?
