Abstract
Quantum mechanics fails to explain the random or chaotic details of small numbers of events, such as those in atomic or molecular fluorescence or radioactive decay. An iteration algorithm is described that uses a scale parameter. As the value of the scale parameter changes, the function goes from equality with the continuous function, to smooth but disagreeing values, to oscillating, then chaotic values and finally to divergence. This algorithm simulates how reality might be indistinguishable from a continuous function at a large scale but diverge at smaller scale. In doing so, it reinforces the notion that time (and space) dimensions are discreet (digital) rather than continuous (analog).
