The Uncertainty of Procedural Generators
Andrea, you gave this great talk that Nick kind of mentioned that will link in the show notes about physics as uncertainty. The fact being you can't really predict the six of the seventh bounce that easily. So that's where a lot of the uncertainty of round guards coming from. But one of the points that you make in the talk is that actually, if you wanted to, the computer could calculate the full path. And in theory, you could just show that, right? You could just actually draw out the whole path, but then it wouldn't be really uncertain at all.
