Many nodes can make use of a random seed to generate variations.

A simple example would be using two 'BnW Spots 1' noise nodes in a graph. By changing the random seed on one of them, it would ensure that both nodes generate a different noise pattern.

    btw is the seed effect proportioal to its value will seed: 7 be as random and affect as much the node as seed ex. 4354875678435 or -437543675436598324879?

    Random number generators in computing are not really random they are pseudo random in that they are calculated. The random seed is just a way of starting the calculation - the result is no more or less random no matter what seed you start it with - it is just different.
