I wanted to have a sequence that does not accumulate net information or
have an rule that is itself net information. A random sequence has to
check to see if its pattern fits some test for randomness. A path wherein
each step is inconsistent with the past sequence seems to meet the
requirements I desired.

In my opinion any such rule is net information.
