Was Apollinari a strict determinist?
To label me a strict determinist would be a misunderstanding. While I acknowledge the elegant predictive power of physical laws, my relational interpretation introduces a crucial element of contextuality. The 'state' of a system is determined not by some absolute causal chain, but by its interactions within a given framework. This allows for a form of emergent order that is not rigidly predetermined in the classical sense, particularly when considering the probabilistic nature of quantum events. The focus is on relational causality rather than an absolute, unyielding determinism.
