    Description

       In a scenario in which the user manually starts two or more applications, the applications do not have the capability to establish a shared session topic. Since there's no "app launch", with its corresponding ability to exchange contextual information, the unique, unguessable, and session-specific hub.topic must be calculated by both the driving application's hub and the subscribing application. The synchronizing application could use a shared algorithm and secret to generate the hub.topic.

      Why must the topic be unique and unguessable?
      Especially in this case, a predictable value would be preferred.
