Hi again,
Many thanks to Hans and Hans and Henri.
The solution (going to low level) provided by Hans works fine.
Best

I guess the underlying library calls are from Lua5.4? Then it is perhaps useful
to know that between 5.3 and 5.4 there is mentioned a new implementation for
math.random. Perhaps it changes the sequence of random values generated?
Someone who knows?

I wonder how does math.random() work in context. I found that this subject was
discussed more than ten years ago by Otared and Taco and Thomas. It is clear to

Hi everybody.
I wonder how does math.random() work in context. I found that this subject was
discussed more than ten years ago by Otared and Taco and Thomas. It is clear to
me how to obtain new results upon typesetting the same file by changing the
value of math.randomseed (with os.time()).

Indeed I guess that this is due to the random seed used by LuaTeX: is it
possible to force a new random seed upon each typesetting?
The randomseed is set by context, and saved between consecutive runs of
the same file. Normally, this is what you would want: just imagine

Thomas and Taco: thanks to both of you for your insight. I overlooked
the function math.randomseed() in Lua, and my question was mainly out
of curioisty: in practive one doesn't need to reset the random seed,
as Taco points out.
However I couldn't find the right usage of the command «
