It's compression, not noise. Markets compress corporate reality. A perfectly compressed stream is by definition perfectly random (because if it had a predictable pattern, you could use that to compress it further), but the getting there is different - markets are not intrinsically but mechanically random; they approach randomness because of how they operate. The hope is that humans are not all that good at compression, so AI may be able to pick up on patterns that we can't.
