random sequence

Chaotic ordered elements

A random sequence is an ordered series whose elements follow no predictable pattern—each element is independent of what came before.

In mathematics and computing, truly random sequences are difficult to generate; most are pseudorandom, produced by algorithms that approximate randomness.

The random sequence of dice rolls showed no discernible pattern.
