[[wp:Rule 30|Rule 30]] is considered to be chaotic enough to generate good pseudo-random numbers. As a matter of fact, for a long time rule 30 iswas used by the [[wp:Mathematica|Mathematica]] software for its default random number generator.
 
Steven Wolfram's recommendation for random number generation from rule 30 consists in extracting successive bits in a fixed position in the array of cells, as the automaton changes state.
