Random numbers are numbers that are truely random - there's
no way you could ever predict the next one when you already
have gotten some from the generator and even if you got all
the specifications for the generator. Think e.g. of a gene-
rator that gets it's numbers from a source that's known to
be strictly random (throwing a coin, radioactive decay etc.).

That makes it seem as though whether or not
a process is considered truly random,
depends on the state of the art of numerical analysis.
