			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lately, I was wondering how to generate random numbers without<br />
seeding. Oh man, I could not think of randomness with a random seeding.<br />
Now, I am realizing that random numbers cannot be generated without the<br />
impregnation of a random entity. Generally we use the the current time<br />
(in seconds) for the seeing purpose.</p>
<p>Ok, does the above mean<br />
something else in real life ? Does it mean that there is nothing called<br />
randomness ? Does it mean that anything and everything can be described<br />
by a Generative model (A Generative model tries to establish the entire<br />
distribution based only on the parameters that generate the<br />
distribution; for example words generate documents and topics generate<br />
words ) ? I remember hearing something about chaos theory which<br />
dictates that behind any chaos, there exists a pattern. So, is our life<br />
like a flowchart with the next steps hidden ? Are we calling this<br />
flowchart the fate of life ?</p>
<p>Are we calling people who have<br />
realized these patterns of life as Gods ? What are the ways to learn<br />
these patterns by oneself ? Can one learn and accept his own pattern of<br />
life ? Are we calling this learning process as the salvation ? If there<br />
exists a generator function behind everylife, who decides on the<br />
generator function ? Can one decide his own generator ? Do we call this<br />
as winning one&#8217;s fate ?</p>
<p>If every life is like a flowchart, what<br />
is the beginning and what is the end ? Will we have recursions and<br />
loops in the flowchart ? Are we calling every loop in the flowchart as<br />
one life ? If so, does one exist across multiple births and deaths ? If<br />
so, who is that one ? If we agree on the loops, does the generator<br />
function maximize or minimize our stay in this world ? What is the loop<br />
termination condition? Is that a likelihood? How are we deciding the<br />
likelihood of life? Are we comparing the actual living and ideal living<br />
? What is ideal living ? Is Ideal living a process of learning and<br />
accepting the generator function ? Will one stay quiet if the generator<br />
function is learnt and accepted ? Can the generator function be also<br />
called the destiny ? Does it mean if one knows the destiny, he becomes<br />
quiet ? May be..</p>
<p>Ok, If living in the world is not the ideal<br />
living, should we call this world as a punishment bench ?<br />
Optimistically, shall we call it a training centre ? What is the real<br />
purpose of this generator function ? From the above I can understand<br />
that I am responsible for my own re-birth. Can there be no re-births at<br />
all ? If the reason for re-birth is me, what is the reason for my first<br />
birth ? Moreover, why was many first births (meaning many parallel<br />
co-existed souls) ? And when all the loops of all the souls are ended,<br />
what is next ? Is that the real doom&#8217;s day ? Am I going beyond the<br />
scope of what I am ? Is my generator function designed to make me ask<br />
these questions? May be..</p>
