Can an infinite random stream of a seeded random number generators can be expressed more simply as "the state of something in Ant"?. While there are several answers that I could provide relative to state and URL encoding - I would be guessing as to what you are actually saying/asking because the above description is not easy to interpret in terms of a concrete question or assumption. Could you restate the problem, the scope your assuming, and the issues your concerned about?
