Any stochastic process will have variability for a given set of inputs

If you're modelling stochastic processes it's important to be able to set the random seed you can reproduce your simulations. So for a given set of inputs you should get the same output, given that one of the inputs is your seed.

Until you change how you consume randomness, and the order isn't the same anymore.
