Currently, this scrambles all layers that have centers using 3x3 random state scrambles from outside to inside, except for the innermost layer of even NxN, which resorts to using a 2x2 random state scramble. The model scales to any NxN automatically, meaning we can apply the concept to 6x6 and 7x7 on a whim.
As of the intial PR, the outermost layer (the "reduction stage") is not scrambled with a 3x3 random state, although this can be fixed by literally changing one character in the source code (changing a one to a zero in the constant EXCLUDE_OUTER_LAYERS definition)
Obviously this is not tested thoroughly because it's intended as a proof of concept at this stage. These scrambles are not WCA-legal! We also have not had a second pair of eyes to check the original mathematical analysis that prompted this approach.
