> operate predictably because they are deterministic operations If I sat you in front of a computer generating numbers using a pseudo random number generator and gave you as context the last number it generated, could you make any prediction about the next number it generates? Now if it used a prng that was known and standardized to only compute one number could you predict anything about the next number now?
