Hi Ammon,
Seed resets the sequence, so you can produce the same "random" numbers over
and over.
Use Secure. Compare these results:
>> random/seed 100
>> random 100
== 41
>> random 100
== 31
>> random 100
== 46
>> random/seed 100
>> random 100
== 41 ;;; sequence repeats
>> random 100
== 31
>> random 100
== 46
>> random/secure 100
== 88 ;; no obvious repeating sequence
>> random/secure 100
== 69
>> random/secure 100
== 17
