Non-Trivial Future Contingents

Non-trivial future contingents refer to future events that are neither predetermined nor certain, meaning their outcomes are genuinely uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. Unlike trivial or obviously predictable events, these contingents challenge the idea that the future is fixed or knowable in advance. They raise important questions in philosophy and logic about how we understand possibility, truth, and decision-making regarding future occurrences that are not yet determined. This concept highlights the complexity of the future and the limits of knowledge about what might or might not happen.
