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.
