The hash functions were algorithmically optimized around a scaffolding I designed that guaranteed certain performance characteristics and easy analyzability. It has literally produced many, many thousands of high quality hash functions. Tens of thousands of CPU hours have been burned on the optimization process, which is still running, and the ones that have been put into use so far were early samples pulled out of that process but the hash functions still being processed in the pipeline are statistically more robust than the earlier versions. Much easier than trying to design them the old fashioned way. At some point soon, since the optimization is converging, I will evaluate the most promising parts of the phase space to select the strongest and most aesthetic functions and publish those into the public domain.
