"Random number generating functions in computer languages are said to yield “pseudo-random” rather than “true-random” results. Pseudo-random values are generated, by a mathematical series of operations performed to produce a sequence of numbers that repeat with a long enough period to be effectively random, that is, free of pattern or bias.", Carl Lostritto

This text-like visualization is a mapping of a “Register and Taps” random number generator. The drawing Compares three registers: 9, 11 and 13. It shows the difference in values and count of the generated numbers before repetition occurs and before the pattern emerges, basically ending the pseudo-randomness.
