That’s an interesting idea, although I’d say in that case they just “meta-adapted”, so that even truly random variations in the same degrees of freedom would not have helped.

The Borg still adapt even if they use a randomly changing sequence, which means even in the future of Star Trek, they haven’t actually found a way for computers to generate real random numbers and it’s just an algorithm to simulate it, which of course the Borg can extrapolate from.

Don’t the borg only adapt after they get shot? They need to experience it to adapt.

I would expect their random numbers to have at least 128 bits of entropy. Evidently, they have 2 or 3.

for all their post-scarcity they ran out of entropy bits in the 2200’s and now they have strict rationing
