Finally, when we are doing decoy selection to find the other members of a ring, our result is a list of global output
indexes, which represent a set of transaction outputs with the same amount as the transaction output we are trying to
spend. We sample these global output indicies according to a certain distribution, with this distribution hopefully
statistically matching the distribution of the ages of "true spends", so that the ring member we truely wish to spend is

masked from external observers within a certain probability.

decoy picks, if the first pick has 100 choices, then the next pick has 99 choices, then 98 choices, etc, etc. Since
these picks are not statistically independent, then the distribution of the picks gets more and more skewed for the later
picks. You can combat this effect by simply commiting to the order in which you pick the outputs, and try adding them

5. Here is the first point in which a gamma pick can fail: if the target output index post-unlock is greater than the number of usable outputs on chain:
* If `target_num_outputs_post_unlock >= num_usable_rct_outputs`, then restart the gamma pick operation from step 1.
6. Now we get what I call a "psuedo global output index". This value *could* be used as a global output index, but since we want all outputs within the same block to have the same chance of being picked, we instead use this global output index to "pick" a block.
* `psuedo_global_output_index = num_usable_rct_outputs - 1 - target_num_outputs_post_unlock`

8. To pick an output from this block, we need the first global output index in this block.
