Random events (as we understand them here) are completely unrelated to one another. So the answer is to pre-load your system with 1, and have all the other values be random. [random 5] | [t b f] X [f 1] will always start with 1, and then give you random numbers. BUT: It might also give you, 1, 1, 1, 1.... I suspect what you really want is to replace the random with an urn. a.
