 # Anarchism
 
-Anarchism is a [socialist](socialism.md) political philosophy rejecting any social hierarchy and oppression. **Anarchism doesn't mean without rules, but without rulers**; despite popular misconceptions anarchism is not [chaos](chaos.md) --  on the contrary, it strives for a stable, ideal society of equal people that live in peace. The symbols of anarchism include the letter A in a circle and a black flag that for different branches of anarchism is diagonally split from bottom left to top right and the top part is filled with a color specific for that branch.

 ### How does LRS differ from [suckless](suckless.md), [KISS](kiss.md) and similar types of software?
 
-Technically these sets largely overlap and LRS is sometimes just a slightly different angle of looking at the same things. I have invented LRS as my own take on suckless software -- as I cannot speak on behalf of the whole suckless community, I have created my own "fork" and simply set my own definitions without worrying about misinterpreting and misquoting someone else. However, LRS does have its specific ideas and areas of focus. The main point is that **LRS is derived from an unconditional love of all life** rather than some shallow idea such as "[productivity](productivity_cult.md)". In practice this leads to such things as a high stress put on [public domain](public_domain.md) and legal safety, altruism, anti-capitalism, accepting software such as games as desirable type of software, NOT subscribing to the [productivity cult](productivity_cult.md), seeing [privacy](privacy.md) as ultimately undesirable etc. While suckless is apolitical and its scope is mostly limited to software, LRS speaks about the whole society.

It stands opposed to the [proprietary software](proprietary_software.md).

Free software is NOT equal to software whose source code is available or software that is offered for zero price, the basic rights to the software are the key attribute that has to be present.

-[Richard Stallman](rms.md), the inventor of the concept and the term "free software", says free software is about ensuring the freedom of computer users, i.e. people truly owning their tools -- he points out that unless people have complete control over their tools, they don't truly own them and will instead become controlled and abused by the makers (true owners) of those tools, which in [capitalism](capitalism.md) are [corporations](corporation.md). Richard Stallman stressed that **there is no such thing as partially free software** -- it takes only a single line of code to take away the user's freedom and therefore if software is to be free, it has to be free as a whole. This is in direct contrast with [open source](open_source.md) which happily tolerates for example [Windows](windows.md) only programs and accepts them as "open source", even though such a program cannot be run without the underlying proprietary code of the platform.

 # Definition
 
 Free software was originally defined by [Richard Stallman](rms.md) for his [GNU](gnu.md) project. The definition was subsequently adopted and adjusted by other groups such as [Debian](debian.md) and so nowadays there isn't just one definition, even though the GNU definition is usually implicitly supposed. However, all of these definition are very similar and are basically variations and subsets of the original one. The GNU definition of free software is paraphrased as follows:
 
-Software is considered free if all its users have the rights to:
+Software is considered free if all its users have the legal and [de facto](de_facto.md) rights to:
 
 0. Use the software for any purpose.
 1. Study the software. For this source code of the program has to be available.
 2. Share the software with anyone.
-3. Modify the software. This modified version can also be shared with anyone.
+3. Modify the software. For this source code of the program has to be available. This modified version can also be shared with anyone.
 
 Note that as free software cares about real freedom, the word "right" here is seen as meaning a [de facto](de_facto.md) right, i.e. NOT just a legal right -- legal rights (a free [license](license.md)) are required but if there appears a non-legal obstacle to those freedoms, free software communities will address them. Again, open source differs here by just focusing on legality.
 
+To make it clear, freedom 0 (use for any purpose) covers ANY use, even commercial use or use deemed unethical by society of the software creator. Some people try to restrict this freedom, e.g. by prohibiting use for military purposes or prohibiting use by "fascists", which makes the software NOT free anymore. NEVER DO THIS. The reasoning behind freedom 0 is the same as that behind [free speech](free_speech.md): allowing any use doesn't imply endorsing or supporting any use, it simply means that we refuse to engage in certain kinds of oppression our of principle. Trying to mess with freedom 0 would be similar to e.g. prohibiting [science](science.md) on the ground of the fact that scientific results can be used in unethical ways -- we simply don't do this. We try to prevent unethical behavior in other ways than prohibiting basic rights.
+
+[Source code](source_code.md) here means the preferred form in which software is modified, i.e. things such as [obfuscated](obfuscation.md) source code don't count as true source code.
+
 The developers of Debian operating system have created their own guidelines (Debian Free Software Guidelines) which respect these points but are worded in more complex terms and further require e.g. non-functional data to be available under free terms as well ([source](https://people.debian.org/~bap/dfsg-faq.html#not_just_code)) which GNU doesn't ([source](https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.en.html#non-functional-data)). The definition of open source is yet more complex even though in practice legally free software is eventually also open source and vice versa.
 
 # History
 
-Free software was invented by the great [Richard Stallman](rms.md) in the 1980s. His free software movement inspired later movements such as the [free culture](free_culture.md) movement and the evil [open-source](open_source.md) movement.

+# Noise
+
+Noise in general is an undesirable [signal](signal.md) that's mixed in with useful signal and which we usually try to filter out, even though it can also be useful, especially e.g. in [procedural generation](procgen.md). Typical example of noise is flickering or static in video and audio signals, but it can also take a form of e.g. random errors in transferred texts, irrelevant links in web search results or imperfections in measuring of economic data. In measurements we often talk about [signal to noise ratio](snr.md) (SNR) -- the ratio that tells us how much noise there is in our data. While in engineering and scientific measurements noise is almost always something that's burdening us (e.g. [cosmic microwave background](cmb.md), the noise left over from the [Big Bang](big_bang.md), may interfere with our radio communication), in some fields such as [computer graphics](graphics.md) (and other computer [art](art.md)) or [cryptography](cryptography.md) we sometimes try to purposefully generate artificial noise -- e.g. in [procedural generation](procgen.md) noise is used to generate naturally looking terrain, clouds, textures etc.

+## Artificial Noise
+
+In [computer science](compsci.md), especially e.g. in [computer graphics](graphics.md) or audio generation, we often want to generate artificial noise that looks like real noise, in order to be able to generate data that look like real world data. Noise may serve as a basis (first step, random initial state) for generating something or it may be used to distort or modulate other data, for example when drawing geometrical shapes we may want them to look as if written by hand in which case we want to make them imperfect, add a bit of noise to an otherwise perfect shape a computer would create. Adding noise can help make rendered pictures look more natural, it can help us model human speech that arises from noise created by our vocal cords, it can help AI train itself to filter out real life noise etc.
+
+Normally we don't want our noise to be completely [random](randomness.md) but rather **[pseudorandom](pseudorandomness.md)** so that our programs stay [deterministic](determinism.md). Imagine for example we are generating terrain [heightmap](heightmap.md) based on a 2D noise -- if such function was truly random, the terrain in a certain place would be different every time we returned to that place again, but if the noise is pseudorandom ([seeded](seed.md) by the position coordinates), the terrain generated at any given coordinate will be always the same.
+
+There are different types of noise characterized by their properties such as number of dimensions, [frequencies](frequency.md) they contain, [probability distribution](probability.md) of the values they contain etc. Basic division of noises may be this:
+
+- by type/[algorithm](algorithm.md):
+  - **value noises**: The simplest type of noise, it arises by generating a (pseudo)random value at each node of the spatial grid. Values in between grid nodes are obtained by [interpolation](interpolation.md).
+  - **gradient noises**: More sophisticated than value noise, rather than a simple value it generates a [gradient](gradient.md) at each grid point. Specific algorithms/types of gradient noise are:
+    - **[Perlin noise](perlin_noise.md)**: One of the most common and basic gradient noises, which however suffers from some [artifacts](artifact.md).
+    - **[simplex noise](simplex_noise.md)**: A more sophisticated noise than Perlin noise, improves some of its properties, works with a [simplex](simplex.md) lattice of points rather than orthogonal grid.
+    - ...
+  - **spectral noises**: Noises that are generated in the [spectral domain](spectrum.md) (see [Fourier transform](fourier_transform.md)):
+    - **[anisotropic noise](anisotropic_noise.md)**: Noise that has a specific orientation, can be used e.g. for water waves that go in one direction.
+    - ...
+  - **[convolution](convolution.md) noises**: Noises that use [convolution](convolution.md) of given kernel with some simpler noise to create a larger texture.
+    - **[Gabor noise](gabor_noise.md)**
+    - ...
+  - other:
+    - **[Voronoi](voronoi.md) noise**: Noise that looks like a "honeycomb" or structures created by living cells, it is created by generating random point coordinates and then assigning each space point (e.g. each pixel) a [distance](distance.md) to its closest point. Different random [point sampling](point_sampling.md) methods or distance functions can help change the look of the noise. Worley Noise is one type of Voronoi noise.
+    - Combinations and modifications of standard noises: we may e.g. blend or [modulate](modulation.md) two noise functions to create a new complex type of noise.
+    - **[midpoint displacement](midpoint_displacement.md)/[diamond square](diamond_square.md)**: Relatively simple [algorithms](algorithm.md) for generating [fractal](fractal.md) heightmaps, working on the principle of repeatedly subdividing a line (or in higher dimensions a square, cube etc.) and (pseudo)randomly displacing the generated point.
+    - **[wavelet noise](wavelet_noise.md)**: Noise further improving some characteristics of Perlin noise.
+    - unorthodox noises created e.g. by [cellular automata](cellular_automaton.md), AI etc.
+    - ...
+- by frequencies:
+  - **[fractal noise](fractal_noise.md)**: Very important type of noise that similarly to [fractals](fractal.md) is composed of differently scaled versions of itself -- this noise looks like (and can be used to simulate) clouds, mountains and other structures found in nature. It is created by taking some basic noise function (e.g. Perlin noise or simplex noise) and overlaying (adding) multiple versions of it that differ by frequency and amplitude (just as e.g. mountains are composed of big and tall hills that have on them progressively smaller and less tall hills up to the microscopic level). These different individual layers are called octaves: *i*th octave has the amplitude *p^i* (where *p* is a constant from 0 to 1 called a persistence) and frequency of *2^i*.
+   - **[white noise](white_noise)**: Noise containing "same amount of all frequencies" -- this is basically the simplest kind of noise we get when we generate a sequence of independent ([uncorrelated](correlation.md)) (pseudo)random numbers with uniform probability distribution.
+   - **[pink noise](pink_noise.md)**: Energy density of frequencies decreases proportionally with 1/frequency, i.e. it basically has strong high frequencies and weak low frequencies.
+   - **[blue noise](blue_noise.md)**
+   - ...
+- by other properties:
+  - **symmetry/invariance** and other function properties: A noise may or may not be invariant against various operations such as shifting, rotation or scaling, i.e. when we apply this operation it will look basically the same. For example Perlin noise outputs value 0 at each grid point and is non-zero only between the grid point, so it is NOT invariant towards shifting. Noise functions are just mathematical [functions](function.md), so we may examine noises just as we examine functions (they may be continuous, bounded etc.).
+  - **explicit vs implicit**: Values of an implicit noise can relatively simply and quickly be computed at any given point in space whereas explicit noises require processing as a whole and therefore storage of the whole generated noise in memory.
+  - **tiling**: Similarly to [procedural](procgen.md) [textures](texture.md), a noise generated by an algorithm may be tiling, i.e. not having visible seams when repeated in certain dimensions.

 - OOP just mostly repeats what other things like modules already do.
 - If you want to program in object-oriented way and have a good justification for it, **you don't need an OOP language anyway**, you can emulate all aspects of OOP in simple languages like C. So instead of building the idea into the language itself and dragging it along forever and everywhere, it would be better to have optional OOP libraries.
 - It generalizes and simplifies programming into a few rules of thumb such as encapsulation, again for the sake of inexperienced noobs. However there are no simple rules for how to program well, good programming requires a huge amount of experience and as in any art, good programmer knows when breaking the general rules is good. OOP doesn't let good programmers do this, it preaches things like "global variables bad" which is just too oversimplified and hurts good programming.

Wikidata oftentimes contains extra information that's not present in the Wikipedia article about the item and that's not even quickly found by [googling](google.md), and the information is sometimes also backed by sources just like on Wikipedia, so it's nice to always check Wikidata when researching anything.
