Does anyone know what TempleOSV2 is talking about? I can't reply to his comment in this thread because it's marked as dead, but it sounds very interesting.

This account is used by the author of "The Temple Operanting System"[0], who's schizophrenic.

The first and the last two sections of his post are similar to his usual writings (the fourth one comes out of a Markov chain). The second and third ones are unusual, but it's probably gibberish too.

[0] http://www.templeos.org/ IMO both a work of art and a technical achievement. See my sibling comment for a review.

The second part is a quote from: http://www.nist.gov/itl/csd/ct/nist_beacon.cfm

The third part is very similar to the random example in: https://beacon.nist.gov/home

It’s apparently unrelated to the current article.

Not gibberish then. Thanks for pointing this out.
