  "title": "Using Transcendental Math to Generate Better Random Numbers",
  "original_title": "Systems and computer-implemented methods for generating pseudo random numbers",
  "summary": "A method for creating high-quality random numbers by using complex transcendental math equations to process raw data.",
  "what_it_does": "This patent describes a way to make random numbers more reliable by using transcendental equations. It takes raw, messy data—like noise from a sensor—and converts it into an algebraic number. This number is then plugged into a transcendental function, which is a type of math that produces highly unpredictable results. By solving these equations, the system generates a sequence of pseudo-random numbers that are cleaner and more secure than those produced by simpler methods.",
  "what_it_does_not_cover": [
    "Does not cover standard random number generation methods that rely solely on linear congruential generators.",
    "Does not cover hardware-only random number generation that lacks the specific transcendental equation processing step.",
    "Does not cover general-purpose data encryption algorithms that do not utilize transcendental functions as the primary transformation mechanism."

  "abstract": "Described embodiments relate to systems and method for conditioning, de-biasing and/or whitening raw entropy data or for hashing data. The method comprises receiving data; determining at least a first algebraic number from the data; calculating at least one solution to one or more transcendental equations using the at least the first algebraic number as an input parameter value, wherein the one or more transcendental equations comprise a transcendental function that is capable of generating transcendental number outputs from algebraic number inputs; determining one or more sequences of pseudo random numbers based on the at least one solution; and determining an output based on the one or more sequences of pseudo random numbers. For example, the data may be received from a raw entropy source and comprise raw entropy to be transformed. Alternatively, the data may be data to be hashed and the output may comprise a hash of the data.",
