Open Challenge to ID Advocates

The process added and scrambled information, but I did not explain how. To give a little more information now, I used an encryption filter that allows me to precisely set the CSI of each string. This is just a few lines of python code I stored away for a later date.

Because we don’t know the process I used, there is no way to compute the CSI.

I randomized a number in the acceptable zone from a larger domain. That acceptable zone size is tuned to equal the CSI. Then I added a secret key and “shuffled” the bits. That’s the process.

Now you know the process, however you still can’t compute the CSI, because I didn’t tell you the secret key, or the precise domain and acceptable zones I used, or how I shuffled the bits around. Even I couldn’t tell you which one was which unless I had kept notes to tell which one is which. (I did)

From here it should be clear that it would require cheating or mind reading to solve this task. Unless we know the process that constructed a sequence, and unless we know the specification, we cannot actually, compute the CSI.
