Programmed randomness can make THz 6G networks faster, smarter, and more reliable, especially in noisy conditions or with limited bandwidth

"6Gs fade more rapidly/ cannot pass through physical barriers, so need narrow, line-of-sight links between transmitters/ receivers, but maintaining links requires rapid/ precise alignment... overcome, making line-of-sight links nearly instantaneous by generating/ controlling radio wave patterns estimating signal's direction within 1/10th°, 10X better... signal hits metasurface, scatters into distinct randomized pattern varying across frequency/ time/ receivers compare against library identifying signal's origin direction"
