    * Reformulate random seed to be more random
    
    - First 80 random values come from cycling the incomplete series (
      instead of filling with zeroes)
    - Calculate random material each usage (use a single amalgamated
      ring buffer to store them for avoiding 81 lookups each time)
    - Mutate inputs by hashing each with:
      - its index (into the 81)
      - an additional "subject" key provided by caller
    
    This keeps the final output low-influence while still allowing
    it to be used as the seed to independent contexts. (Hashing the
    result to give the final seed is no better than using parent_hash).
