My dude, the "dice rolls" are all the small pieces of entropy that you'd have to know the environment to an unknowable degree for. They are conceptually absolutely involved, and if you can't understand that, we're done here, because you're handwaving over the difficult parts in a way that doesn't make sense.

Those “dice rolls” are not random though. The problem is you keep talking about these inputs as if they themselves are random. They aren’t. And just because you can’t fathom a way to know their values now, doesn’t mean they are unknowable. I point back to the timestamp issue, where at the time it was considered “enough” but was disproven as such years down the line.
