deterministickými

Deterministickými is the instrumental plural form of the Czech adjective deterministický, meaning deterministic. It is used to describe nouns in phrases such as deterministickými zákony (by deterministic laws) or deterministickými metodami (by deterministic methods). As a grammatical form, it does not denote a distinct theory or concept on its own, but rather modifies nouns to express that something is governed by deterministic principles.

In broader usage, determinism refers to the view that events, including human actions, are determined by preceding causes and are thus, in principle, predictable if those causes are known. The concept appears in several domains:

- Causal determinism: the idea that every event is the consequence of prior states and natural laws.

- Logical determinism: the claim that the truth of propositions about the future is fixed.

- Theological determinism: the view that divine foreknowledge or decree determines all events.

- The debate over free will: hard determinism denies free will, while compatibilism argues that determinism can coexist with a form of freedom.

In science, classical physics is often described as effectively deterministic, though quantum mechanics introduces probabilistic elements. Across fields, the term deterministický and its inflected forms, including deterministickými, appear mainly as adjectives describing theories, laws, methods, or phenomena that are treated as determined by prior conditions rather than random or indeterministic.
