I tried calculating the actual probability that the whole image would be of the colour #0055FF

I took a sample of 20 images from the universal slideshow, and I got a program to count the number of pixels of a certain colour that were in the image. At first I wanted solid blue, but there was no solid blue in any of the images so I changed to counting #0055FF pixels. In the 20 images I put into the program, the number of #0055FF pixels ranged from 0 to 4. Each image has 266,240 total pixels. Using distribution techniques I learned in Core Maths, I got the standard deviation: 1.435270009, the mean: 1.8, and used the distribution function on my calculator to work out the probability of there being more than 266,238 of these pixels. My calculator only has a limited amount of accuracy though, so it came out as a big fat 0. Using an online distribution calculator, I found out that the probability of there just being 8 of these #0055FF pixels was 0.0000078.

TL;DR: what do you mean you didn't read it?? Go read it. Just kidding- the probability of there being 266,240 pixels of #0055FF colour is so insanely small, that every distribution calculator I used said it was 0 due to not being accurate enough.

What is this?

This place seems to be a bunch of schizophrenic people who stare at random pictures of static and text and expect to find something, and sometimes do find things, but via hallucination. What is the actual goal here? I'm not trying to be an asshole i'm just wondering if you guys are okay 😭

WHAT ARE THESE??

I SWEAR i am seeing lines for some type of caricature or something. Please trace something or link it to a reference or something.

Also it is more clear when looked up front but idk help

First time on babel, is this rare?

I heard about the library of babel recently, so I typed in some random numbers, and I swear there's a face. Is this rare at all?

The Structure of the Library of Babel is not Finite and Could Be Used to Create A Repository

The structure of the library of babel is not finite and can be used to create an infinite structure. If you take a hexagon with four walls and an image on each wall and two exits, then loop back into a hexagon with a similar structure you can create a near infinite structure. Each hexagon becomes a node, and the exits form an A/B structure. Thus you get a walking knowledge graph or spatial database. This is actually useful if you let of the scrambled internals and change them to selective items. You create a shell to put something like a memex or world brain into. I put together something to show this. I am looking for feedback on this idea. I am starting here. https://babelnexus.com It is not creative commons right now. I am trying to figure out what I can do with this.
