RandomSeeding

is an option that specifies what seeding of pseudorandom generators should be done inside the operation of a function.

Details

	Automatic	automatically reseed every time the function is called
	Inherited	use externally seeded random numbers
	RandomGeneratorState[…]	a RandomGeneratorState object
	seed	use an explicit integer or string as a seed

Give an explicit random seeding for FindInstance:

The result will always be the same with this seeding:

With the default Automatic seeding, a different seed is used for each instance:

Use externally seeded random numbers for FindInstance:

Repeated evaluations with no intervening use of randomness will give the same result:

If randomness is requested between evaluations, the state will change:

RandomSeeding->Inherited uses the current random state:

RandomSeeding->Automatic completely ignores the current random state:
