Does that help at all, with the Universe being the generator, and the results being the number?
As you (should) know, a random number generator is impossible on a computer. The best we can do is fake it by doing something like taking the current millisecond and manipulating it, or doing an unimaginably complex calculation to get the next random result. The universe may do this, but I don't think it is actually RANDOM.
