If I am doing a random walk I can expect to be sqrt(n) steps away from the origin after taking n steps.
Is there anything I can expect about the *direction* though? I would think net direction would not drift much after a while. Max heading deviation = arctan(1/sqrt(n)) ...🤔

Highly, um, path dependent on the bearing of the first few steps.

Or more poetically: compared to origin your direction gets more and more narrowly defined. Compared to yourself a few steps ago, you are just as aimless as ever.

Every time I think your autocorrect misfires it turns out that I need to google more stuff.
