The basic device here is gausss product formula 39 which expresses the product of any two cosets as a sum of cosets. Solomon golomb some personal reflections plus random. A genuine random binary sequence of statistically independent and equiprobable symbols cannot be described using an amount of information smaller than its length. The chapter provides a proof that shows msequences outputs of primitive lfsrs satisfy these randomness postulates. And then performs a loop to shift and thereby reverse the third stack onto the second. The chapter ends by golombs conjecture from 1980, claiming that.
