Primes¶
- Stochasticity vs. Determinism
- Historical determinism is a thesis about causation and history, whereas the prime is a mathematical and physical distinction between systems whose dynamics admit unique trajectories (deterministic) and those whose dynamics admit multiple trajectories (stochastic), a separation Popper (1982) emphasizes in his critique of historicist conflations.
