The function make-mt-random-state creates a new object of type mt-random-state which is suitable for use as the value of *mt-random-state*.

If state is an object of type mt-random-state, then new-state is a copy of state. If state is nil, then new-state is a copy of the value of *mt-random-state*. If state is t then new-state is an object of type mt-random-state initialized using a call to get-universal-time.

make-mt-random-state is analogous to cl:make-random-state.
