  If you mean a linear distribution, that's pretty simple:

#declare Seed = seed(0);
#declare Number = rand(Seed);
#macro NextNumber(maxvariation)
  #declare Number = Number-maxVariation+maxvariation*rand(Seed)*2;
  Number
#end

):5;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/
