WSC Determinism

determinism

all events are inevitable, that the future has already happened, and that we are unable to change the overall trajectory of the universe

indeterminism

universe isn’t fully deterministic, events which happen are caused by random chance

Casual determinism

everything in the universe follows a chain reaction we can contribute to, but we cannot escape

Predeterminism

poses that the chain of events which will happen is rigid.

Fatalism

everything that will happen is destined to happen. It suggests we have no free will and no control over the future

Theological determinism

1. strong theological determinism: god has already configured everything thats going to happen

2. weak theological determinism: god may not have set up everything, but can perfectly predict what someone will do

Adequate determinism

suggests that events are set in place to a scale where random quantum fluctuations won’t effect the overall chain of events

Determined probability

future isnt quite determines, but categorized by the probability of future events based on quantum elements out of our control

The many-worlds interpretation

multiveres, poses that maby different parallel universes (alternate universes) exist and are running simultaneously for every choice taken or not taken,
