 The author first prove the chaotic behaviour of a family of pseudorandom
 number generators (PRNG) introduced in a previous work by the same authors.
 These PRNGs are based on iterating continuous functions on a discrete domain.

 Some concerns must be noted on the practical side. It is unclear how the algorithm improves the randomness properties, as the results of the randomness test suite is not compared to that of the input PRNG. If that had been a perfect RNG, only 8 bits would have been enough to generate 8 bits, in this case we need 582 bits according to Table 1. This difference has to be justified.

 The removal of the Hamiltonian cycle adds an interesting twist to the N-cube, but the importance of this complication is not emphasized properly.

 It would be also interesting to see the comparison of the theoretical and simulated bounds on tau.
