We live in an age of signal detection. From cryptography to conspiracy theories, the human mind is wired to find meaning — even where none exists. Take, for example, the seemingly random string: danlwd fyltr shkn shn .
Is it a cipher? A mistranslation? A keyboard cat’s masterpiece? Or a Rorschach test for AI?
Let’s test a common theory: (where each letter is replaced by a neighboring key).
