- nine_k 3y agoYes. Finding out the nature of a PRNG and its initial state would allow one to predict next values, at least theoretically, that is, if it can be computed faster than the values are generated by the process we're looking at. But the presence or absence of such a function for a naturally occurring process is, again, an epistemological question. That is, whether we can reverse-engineer the universe deeply enough. Unless we find its source code, we're stuck with retrofitting some formulas, and a "random process" is such for which we can't retrofit any better description than a statistical one.
