As it does in mathematics, by returning the random variable (whole
distribution) instead of its individual values (realizations). BTW, in
earlier days one indeed used this way. Remember printed tables of random
numbers?

Theoretically you can always get rid of identity and so mutability, by
turning to greater cardinalities. This applies even to the real-time clock.
Just create a universe each 1�s and here you are... (:-))
