Determinism


Definition:

Determinist


Definition:

  • (n.) One who believes in determinism. Also adj.; as, determinist theories.

Example Sentences:

  • (3) When Monte Carlo simulations of clonal growth resulted in clones with large populations (> 50 cells), the population as a whole behaved in a deterministic fashion (logarithmic growth) similar to those observed in clinically observed neoplasms and consistent with other published models of tumour growth.
  • (4) The author exposits his adherence to universal determinism and attempts to answer the question, "What sort of possibility and ethics are permitted in a deterministic universe?"
