Super cool! I'm excited to see more FP and determinism in the generative art world. A while back I started trying out deterministic animations, ie (seed, t) -> (shape) rather than (oldshape) -> (shape). It requires a bit more brain-twisting to get started, but it has some really nice properties. Not just repeatability across runs, but frame skips, speed changes, rewinding, looping and composability all get much easier.
