Background on random number generation

• The random package of the Numpy module apparantly - even though it doesn't say so in the documentation

• is completely deterministic, using also the Mersenne twister sequence!

• most random numbers used in computer programs are pseudo-random. The numbers are generated in a predictable way, because the algorithm is deterministic. Pseudo-random numbers are good enough for many purposes, but it may not be "true" random rolling dice or lottery drawings.

• https://www.random.org - random number generated from atmospheric noise - better then pseduo-random
