Primes¶
- Determinism
- Determinism is the structural thesis that the present state of a system, taken together with the laws that govern it, fixes exactly one successor state — the transition rule is a single-valued function, not a multi-valued relation, and the entire trajectory of the system is settled by initial conditions plus the laws, as Earman (1986) and Hoefer (2016) develop in their canonical treatments.
This sourceSurvey entry that formalizes determinism as a function-commitment on world-states and laws and catalogues its cross-substrate instantiations (physics, free will, theology, social science).
