✦ Synopsis

The author tries to formulate what a determinist believes to be true. The formulation is based on some concepts defined in a systems-theoretical manner, mainly on the concept of an experiment over the sets A ~" (a set of m-tuples of 'input values') and B n (a set of n-tuples of 'output values') in the time interval (q ..... tD (symbolically E [tl ..... tk, ,4 m, Bn]), on the concept of a behavior of the system S m" n ( = (A m, Bn)) on the basis of the experiment E [tl, ..., tk, A m, B n] and, indeed, on the concept of deterministic behavior .... The resulting formulation of the deterministic hypothesis shows that this hypothesis expresses a belief that we always "could find" some "hidden parameters".
