Thank you for replying with such specific assistance. I am made acutely
aware that I am only a Python enthusiast, and not an academic.
Hashes are deterministic, not random, but byte by byte, they can be very
random. Please accept the attached script as a "hack," that might be novel,
or a curiosity

I should add, as does the Python documentation, that if you want genuinely
non-reproducible random values, the `secrets` module exists and produces
the best results possible on a given OS and computer architecture. On
Unix-like systems, /dev/random is the best source of entropy you're going

In concept, what James suggests, is similar to the Random123 library,
written at D.E.Shaw Research by my sadly late colleague John Salmon. See
https://github.com/DEShawResearch/random123 and the linked academic
publications. E.g. https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/2063384.2063405

I wrote the attached python (3) code to improve on existing prng functions.
I used the time module for one method, which resulted in
disproportionate odd values, but agreeable means.
I used the hashlib module for the second. It is evident that the code is
amateur, but the program might result in b
