Abstract: Ballistic Deposition (BD) is a prototypical model for interface growth and for dynamic scaling behavior in non-equilibrium systems. BD is typically investigated with computer simulations where randomness is replaced by the use of deterministic Pseudo Random Number Generators (PRNGs). In this study of BD, several results discrepant with the prevailing paradigm, were observed. First, the value of the roughness exponent, χ, obtained is below the value for a random walk (i.e.,χ
