randfolge
randfolge is a term that typically refers to a sequence of random numbers. This sequence can be generated by various algorithms or physical processes designed to produce unpredictable outcomes. The properties of a randfolge are crucial for its applications, with the most important being unpredictability and uniformity. Unpredictability means that no part of the sequence can be reliably guessed from the preceding parts. Uniformity suggests that the numbers in the sequence are distributed evenly across the possible range of values.
There are two main categories of randfolge generation: pseudorandom and true random. Pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs)
