i think he's asking how something with a set formula and set parameters can prduce something completely random. Well, to the best of my knowlege, its not completely random. there are set parameters(orguidlines i guess u could say) and them a value or figure is selected within those parameters. sort of like rolling a pair of dice, you can never go higher than 12 or lower than 2, but anything in between is random. in a way its still controlled though, because you have to tell yourself to roll the dice.

I hope that was a good analogy, and i hope i was correct and helped you out.
