    @mark2222 Very well, you don't have to hook it up to one of your computers if you don't want to... I never designed it with that purpose in mind. If you want to update your description, go ahead, if you don't want to, fine with me.

    @DUC Firstly, it is disingenuous to compare particle ID entropy to a nuclear blast, or even to call it anomalous. ID entropy is generated all the time for mundane reasons, so if your RNG can't handle ID entropy it means that I can't just hook it up to a CPU and expect it to work. Anyway, as I said I'd probably update the description eventually, but right now I'm too busy to TPT.

    @mark2222 Well your save never mentioned stability, and mine technically is still an RNG, whether or not it can survive a nuclear blast, or particle order anomalies.

    @DUC From what I've heard, your version breaks with some amount of particle ID entropy. Generally it is very hard to prove correctness for RNGs, and my version is still the smallest with such formal guarantees. Anyway, nosomebodies had already released a version smaller than mine, and while its randomness is still externally affected by two rows of particle IDs, it is reportedly much more resilient than yours. I might update the description to point to that somehow.
