I know exactly how the math ones work since they are well-known math functions with no secret parameters.
The noise nodes are less obvious. (Cellular, Fractal Sum, fBm, Granite, etc.) I know the algorithms for the most part since they are generally already published elsewhere, but the internal values that drive the randomness are not public. An easy way I could find out though would be to simply ask SM for the values.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
