> :book: ***What's the Difference Between Entropy & a Seed?*** Libwally says that it creates its mnemonic phrases from entropy. That's essentially the same thing as a seed: they're both large, randomized numbers. So, if `bitcoin-cli` was compatible with 512-bit mnemonic-phrase seeds, you could use one to generate the mneomnic phrases, and get the results that you'd expect.
> :book: ***What's the difference between Entropy & Raw Entropy?*** Not all entropy is the same. When you input entropy into a command that creates a mnemonic seed, it has to a specific, well-understand length. Changing raw entropy into entropy requires massaging the raw entropy until it's the right length and format, and at that point you could reuse that (non-raw) entropy to always recreate the same mnemonics (which is why entropy is effectively the same thing as a seed at that point, but raw entropy isn't).
