i always assumed it is exactly what it says it is: a seed for a (pseudo) random number generator. the seed is used to initialize an RNG, which then generates random numbers that are propagated throughout the settings. typically the seed is a known parameter so that people can reproduce the output of the RNG on different systems.

Yes,
I also had some questions about that function

Yes, the random seed value has always puzzled me, too. I would very much like to have more information about it, as you describe.

On the condition slider, there is a random seed setting that allows us to change the seed value passed to the condition slider, and it definitely changes how the wear and tear setting is applied in PTQ. I just experiment with different values until I find one I like; however, I wonder if there is more of a strategy to how to use that setting.

Is that value is passed directly as a whole string at only one time or is it used in multiple places/ways or is it ever used as a split string? Do the digits or their order carry any particular significance? Does this setting impact settings that Pro users can't otherwise edit--same with Standard tweaking Pro features or Stage tweaking Standard and Pro features? Is there any more about the setting we should know that could help us in choosing what value to enter?
