Given about 30 minutes for the frescoes to "dry," this technique is proven secure even against rubber hose attacks.įor maximum frustration, Max/MSP has objects which let the user hook Rube Goldberg machines up to a DSP graph, and vice versa. In fact, most users practice a novel form of cryptography I call "Fresco-based write protection": the user keeps drawing and connecting more Rube Goldberg machines atop one another until their short-term memory becomes the only private key that can decode them. (The MSP engine prohibits recursion.)ĭue to lack of constant aural feedback for Max diagrams, users typically keep a separate, erroneous mental model of all the Rube Goldberg machines in their short-term memory.

Plus one can iterate infinitely and recurse into already recursive chains of calls with ease. There's no easy way to tell which of these Rube Goldberg objects are realtime safe.

But each object in the chain can do anything from simple realtime appropriate math to doing file i/o while allocating large chunks of memory. This appears superficially similar to DSP diagrams above. * Max is a general purpose programming language where the user creates and connects various branches of different Rube Goldberg machines together in a GUI. (And the corresponding classes for signal computation are designed with soft realtime scheduling in mind.)

So by the end, the programmer has used their ears to measure whether the program can indeed compute audio for the diagram in realtime. The backend automatically sorts the diagram into a graph and generates the audio as the user builds the program. * MSP is an engine for generating/synthesizing/analyzing realtime audio which the user builds as a diagram in a GUI.
