[PD] Random - Different seed each time the patch is loaded

[Charles Henry]

In a way~, it's not so straightforward.  Let's say the random
generators are identical and seeded by another identical random
generator with no further modifications.  Then, all the other random
generators are correlated--using the same sequence, but with slightly
different starting points within that sequence.

so, you need to have a map of the range of random onto itself, which
is different from the random sequence mapping.  That way, you actually
obtain seed values which are spaced far apart in the sequence.

This could be actually pretty simple, e.g.
seed=rand_max - input_from_1st_rand
