Primes¶
- Stochasticity vs. Determinism
- Stochasticity refers to the character of the entire system and its long-term behavior: a stochastic process like Brownian motion exhibits randomness at each instant, but the ensemble behavior (mean displacement, variance growth, diffusion coefficient) is highly structured and predictable—a distinction Gillies (2000) traces across the major philosophical theories of probability.
This sourceSurvey of major interpretations (classical, frequency, propensity, logical, subjective): clarifies the distinction between randomness as a property of individual events and stochasticity as a property of system architectures.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
