in thread Is this a fair shuffle?

if you put it in this mathematical inverse sense, i would say that since your imaginary function of random->sorted is not one-to-one, so it can not have an inverse (ie, every input:random array has exactly one output:sorted array, but the inverse one input:sorted array could have many output:random arrays).

this is just for thinking's sake, it definitely doesn't give you any answer
