Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: non- prefix, determinism n.

Etymology: < non- prefix + determinism n. Compare slightly earlier nondeterministic adj.

1. Philosophy. The doctrine that human action is free and not determined by previous events.

1964 Jrnl. Philos. 61 315 Free will is seen to be compatible with self-determination, and not with nondeterminism.

1980 Jrnl. Econ. Lit. 18 117/2 Imagination, the source and business of original thought, is the indispensible resource of non-determinism.

2. Mathematics and Computing. A mode of computation in which, at certain points, there is a choice of ways to proceed which cannot be predicted in advance.

1970 IEEE Conf. Rec. 11th Ann. Symp. Switching & Automata Theory 133/2 The essential feature of the parser for this study is that the amount of nondeterminism can be measured, for each string, as the number of active copies of the processor..produced.

1981 Theoret. Computer Sci. 13 175 For an arbitrary programming language with nondeterminism to be implementable, the existence of computation trees modelling the possible changes in state in the course of a computation is postulated.

1998 Math. Logic Q. 44 15 The concept of determinism used by BSS corresponds to our nondeterminism of the second kind (for quasiprograms).
