pseudo-random
Algorithmically generated chaos
Pseudo-random describes something that appears random but is actually generated by a deterministic process.
In computing, pseudo-random numbers are produced by algorithms that create sequences statistically resembling randomness: The game uses a pseudo-random number generator for dice rolls.
True randomness requires physical phenomena; pseudo-randomness is reproducible given the same starting conditions.
