Here is a test - notice the interesting way it lines up in the logs too.

This sounds like XOR's toggling property/XOR swap trick but with extra steps

Have any more examples to run this out with?
What the hell? That's some spooky shit. If it's really true that the inputs aren't discernable from the intermediate results, shouldn't it allow for some cool distributed cryptography?
Think about this more at all? Curious to see the implications spelled out a bit.

I miss Mcafee, funny how most libertarian activists seem to drop dead while the people looting stores and setting cities on fire during protests, or stealing “under 900$” roam the streets freely. I guess not paying taxes is a worse offense than murder to the government.

Those people are not your enemy; they are victims of a system that wants them dead. Nobody wants to be a criminal.

A more obvious scenario is something like encryption not being as encrypted as one would think. There is an interesting element of randomness and determinism that I can't get my head around yet.
Perhaps I'll try some experiments to fully flesh out the slippery thoughts I'm having. I understand what a XOR gate does, and I've setup NAND gates to fully functional virtual cpu's. Yet I don't know what creative use cases exist - this is both inspiring and concerning.
I'll try to think of a few more implications, but if anyone can thread the needle for more simple folk I'd appreciate it at least.
I will experiment with at least something similar to: Given I used 3 sets of alphabets of the same length and then xor them in the various intervals suggested.
Given I did the above but removed one of the sets as a 'secret' what does that imply with the interval and associativity?
It reminds me of the rotate implementation in Forth via microcodes and registers that a lot of primitives are built upon.
I wish I had a big brain.
