In a maximally efficient interactive system, user input appears as random noise. This is because such a system will contain a model of the distribution of its input in order to be able to predict it and react as soon as possible. The system only needs to react to the component of input which it was not able to predict using this model. Thus if there is an intelligent entity manipulating our universe, and if our universe is efficient in this sense, then the outside entity's input will appear as perfectly random maximum entropy noise when viewed from within the system.
