reliability notes

Unreviewed preprint; very large online sample (726 participants, ~10,900 sessions).
Reports the true-RNG vs pseudo-RNG split and summarizes the Monte Carlo dependence critique of the earlier corpus.

what the source states: An online-game implementation with 726 participants and ~10,900 sessions found a significant experimental–control difference for the 64×64 matrix with the Random.org true-random source (Welch's t = 3.811, p = 0.00013, power 94%) but not with the Mersenne Twister pseudo-random generator (t = 1.813, p = 0.070, power 67%).
what we infer: Directionally interesting for quantum-flavored theories, which want genuine indeterminacy to matter (see MPI-C503) — but an unreviewed preprint with an uneven power split between the two arms, and the gamified online protocol departs far from the laboratory paradigm.
limitations: Preprint; not peer reviewed.
The pseudo-RNG arm had lower achieved power, so the split is weaker evidence than the headline p-values suggest.
