  predeterminism is the idea that all events are determined in advance.. see also  predeterminism is the philosophy that all events of history, past, present and future, have been already decided or are already known (by god, fate, or some other force), including human actions. predeterminism is closely related to determinism. the concept of predeterminism is often argued by invoking causal determinism, implying that there is an unbroken chain of prior occurrences stretching back to the origin of the universe. in the case of predeterminism, this chain of events has been pre-established, and human actions cannot interfere with the outcomes of this pre-established chain. predeterminism can be used to mean such pre-established causal determinism, in which case it is categorised as a specific type of determinism. it can also be used interchangeably with causal determinism - in the context of its capacity to determine future events.see for example {{cite journal |author=hooft, g. |title=how does god play dice?
