Indeterminacy

Indeterminacy refers to situations where the outcome or specific details are uncertain or cannot be precisely determined. It highlights the idea that some systems or events do not have a fixed conclusion until they are observed or measured. For example, in quantum physics, particles exist in multiple states simultaneously until measured, revealing a definite state. In broader contexts, indeterminacy acknowledges that certain processes or conditions remain unpredictable until certain factors are clarified, emphasizing the inherent limits of certainty in complex or probabilistic systems.
