Studio 05

Passphrases & fresh IDs

A passphrase you can say out loud, or a fresh identifier for the thing you are making.

A phrase, waiting.

Words5

The words are chosen in this browser from a list of 303 plain English words. Only numbers are asked of the circuits — the phrase itself is never sent away. It stays in this tab until you close it. These phrases are for names, notes, and sketches. An email account or a bank needs a password made in a password manager.

Fresh identifiers

Each identifier is issued once by the physical circuits. It will not be offered again.

Touch the unwritten world.

A normal computer does not roll dice. It follows a recipe — a formula written to look like chance. Run the recipe again and the same numbers can come back. Someone who knows the recipe can get ahead of it.

Every roll, color, chord, and name in this studio starts as a physical event: tiny, unrepeatable fluctuations in our proprietary analog circuits in southern South America. We ask the circuits once. The result is used once. It is never put back, and nothing here is filled in by a simulation.
