# Slot: seed_offset 


_Sub-stream this step draws from, offset from the generator's seed. Two seeded steps must use different offsets to be independent. Stated here rather than inferred from step order so it is a property of the generator that every backend derives identically (numpy re-seeds, jax folds the offset into the key) — and so inserting or reordering steps cannot silently change an existing generator's output._
