-We feel the air in our face, the sun in our nose and chicks. The world is such a vivid and rich places. Colors, textures, sounds. While we walk we can avoid notice the surface of the roads, rocks, trees and clouds. Sudently all seams random. But defenetly not the type of random we were making. The real world is such a rich place. How we can aproximate to this level of variarety computationally?

 Nothing like having some control over the chaos and chances. Right?
-Noise is one of those subjects that you can digg and alwyas find new exciting formulas. In fact, noise means different things for different people. Musicians will think in audio noise, comminicators into interference, and astrophysics on cosmic microwave background. On the next chapter we will use some related concepts from sign and audio behaviur to our noise function to explore more uses of noise.
