Entropy is about the number of arrangements in each state, so while my state has fewer arrangements, the state-space might be sufficiently unknown that no one can plausibly identify that my state exists.

In that sense, it would be lumped together with some collection of other also unknown states that would collectively have a very large number of arrangements.

I think even without a hint, if the process itself is easily guessable, you could still be vulnerable.

Like, if you rolled 6 dice to generate your seed, someone could think to themselves one day: hey what if I just roll six dice and scan through the seed space generated by those 6 dice rolls...

I think if your generation process is truly hard to guess (or even stumble upon), then even if the process is deterministic, your seeds could still be safe.  But in that case the "entropy" probably comes from the idiosyncratic nature of the process.
