yes, there is a remarkable similarity between the filtering of entropy by clock arithmetic in cryptography and the process of accumulating - what Mckenna would say "novelty", or as it is said in the biblical texts, righteousness - perhaps Mckenna's ramblings influenced me in this idea a lot (i read all of his books) but it totally makes sense, that which stands by itself, can hold something else upon it... and this traces back to earlier influences, like many of my science teachers in my scools using the expression "from first principles"
