    I’m wondering if there is a predefined expression variable that utilizes the system clock in relation to the random seed. Is there just a standard one from javascript that can be utilized?

    Huh? What would you do with system clock in an expression? Expressions run in the local context of the layer/ property they are applied to and don’t know anything outside of their own little universe. If there was a function to use realworld times, it would be pretty useless, anyway (as rendering a frame usually takes much longer than a clock cycle you’d always end up with useless random garbage). Your only option is to use “time” and its derived functions/ methods.
