Part 8/10:

This is the central insight leading into quantum mechanics: its perceived indeterminism is, momentarily, due to limitations in understanding or measuring underlying processes.

## Implications and Broader Significance

Understanding the difference between these systems is crucial because it guides how we model, control, and predict behavior across disciplines—from engineering to physics.

- If a system is deterministic, prediction, control, and backward inference are feasible, given initial conditions.

- If a system is non-deterministic, predictions are probabilistic, and complete control or certainty is impossible with current knowledge.
