Show HN: BioLight – Passive entropy engine: raw randomness and 0 post-processing

6 ladaxia 0 4/21/2025, 5:24:43 PM github.com ↗

BioLight is a new kind of entropy engine. It passively accumulates entropy over time, from volatile raw inputs, filtering only the statistically elite samples. No hashing, no whitening, no compression (still 7.9+ Shannon entropy). Entropy is stored and exported in raw form, transparently. Designed to run indefinitely, grows stronger and purer over time, and be verifiable by anyone. Released under the Ladaxia_Public_License. Open to all feedback: scientific and practical.
