And what you think about this:

On my computer and my poor compilor, applying to Alvo prng:

s = 12346.4951171875
x(0) = 0.5697481036186218

I get
x(1) = 0.3921793401241302


Again but with a differente x(0)
s = 12346.4951171875
x(0) = 0.2149915546178818

I get the same
x(1) = 0.3921793401241302

I have 2 diferent roots x(0) for the same x(1)

Perhaps making the experience with another platform, the results are not the
same.

However you can find on any other system these values for x(0).
Just know the random number that is repeated after a certain period
and look past the numbers. That is what I did

Now I can say.

After all not always a PRNG implemented on different machines gives the same
results.
Is this not also a form of randomness?
