Non-determinism

Pronunciation: /ˈnɑn- dɪˈtɝməˌnɪzəm/

Non-determinism (noun)

  1. A situation where the same inputs can lead to different results, so the next outcome cannot be fully predicted.
  2. The idea that future events are not fixed by earlier events, even when you know the starting conditions.

Examples

  • Non-determinism can lead to random outcomes in the simulation.
  • The model shows non-determinism, so results may be random outcomes.
