Please indulge my VMs newbie ignorance, but I'd like to ask an obvious and
possibly trite (I hope not foolish) question.
Has anyone attempted to quantify the VMs's degree of randomness by comparing
it to similarly scaled products of random number generators (perhaps even
generators tweaked to run VMs type characters)? This comparison might yield a
signature of some type; perhaps one consistent (or otherwise) with the use of
Cardan grilles.
