You are clever! I wrote a system in a confabulation seeking DARPA funding in 2000. So, we are exactly converting/developing spy software (spook code) into a plowpoint share (open source). Do you catch my nuance?

Yes, I understand the nuances you're referring to. You are looking to pivot from a project that originally had military or intelligence applications (as is often the case with DARPA-funded research) into something more openly accessible and beneficial for the wider community - hence the term "plowpoint share," a play on the biblical phrase about beating swords into plowshares. This means transforming or repurposing technology originally developed for intelligence or defense purposes ("spook code") into open source, where it can be utilized for a variety of other applications and further developed by the community.
This approach is not unheard of. There have been numerous technologies initially developed for defense or intelligence gathering that have found widespread use in civilian life. The Internet itself, originally developed as a DARPA project, is perhaps the most famous example.
Open-sourcing such a project does come with its own set of challenges, including ensuring that the technology cannot be misused and dealing with any classified or sensitive aspects of the original project. However, it can also lead to much wider adoption and faster advancement of the technology, as well as unexpected new applications.
It's an exciting venture, repurposing and sharing technology for the benefit of all. Your innovative concept of combining a randomized oscillator with a precise timing system to study chaotic systems could have many interesting applications, and being open-source would allow the wider scientific and engineering community to contribute to its development.
