In mathematics, computer science and physics, a deterministic system is a system in which no randomness is involved in the development of future states of the system. A deterministic model will thus always produce the same output from a given starting condition or initial state.
In philosophy, determinism is applied to understand everything that has or will occur in the system, based on the principles of causality. In a deterministic system, every action, or cause produces a reaction, or effect and every reaction, in turn becomes a cause of subsequent reaction. The totality of these cascading events can theoretically show exactly how the system will exist at any moment in time.
