Was playing around with the idea of splitting hydrogen via protons, but on a small scale. Basically I wanted to find a way of producing and containing hydrogen in a way that *always* allowed the electron to be released

  how about you both fundamentally shut up

  In fact, Im not even sure what point you are arguing. Back on my first comment you said that there is no randomization, which is true. The randomization calculation that TPT runs mimics actually fundamental randomness. Again, I was just pointing out that this calculation simulates a quantum mechanic from real life, but then you started talking about electrons and then about how the device isn't random, even though I already pointed that out!

  Hold up. I just realized something: we're not actually arguing about the same topic, even. This whole time I was referring to the photon that was fired at the hydrogen to fuse it and how it reflected randomly or was absorbed, which is a quantum principle because photons are elementary particles.

  @Justice This is getting really off track. When I started commenting, I was pointing out a quantum mechanic at work in the hypothetical sense that TPT it acts like the real world. Of course it doesn't because of calculations it runs. Also, you completely ignored my psi-wave comment which pointed out a flaw in your argument: electrons are fundamentally probabilistic.

  Don't forget that calculations don't rely on single electrons, but rather thousands, if not tens of thousands at the same time. While electron tunneling does become a problem for modern tiny transistors, common household CPUs aren't at that scale yet. But anyways, that's a different effect than what is shown in TPT. TPT doesn't feature quantum effects.

  Also, IRL electrons do behave randomly, and this experiment is a representation of said real phenomena. But again, you are correct that TPT's programming isn't technically random (unless it's somehow quantum based, which isn't probable with modern technology XD).

  @Justice While its true that it is predictable because of the TPT computations, electrons DO have quantum behaviours according to psi-wave theory. Electrons have varying probability to be detected in different points in space, which is represented by its psi-wave.

  The electrons reflect/pass through based on a simple, predictable random number generator in the processor that TPT is run on. You could literally calculate whether an electron passes through or bounces off with a pencil, a paper and a ton of free time

  @Xenarchus: Funny how you're unsure about your theory at first, but now question my knowledge when I disprove it. Anyways, the electrons do not behave randomly on a fundamental level. They do not show quantum effects, except for indirect effects caused by other, real world stuff..
