| Abstract: | Can there be deterministic chance? That is, can there be objectivechance values other than 0 or 1, in a deterministic world? Iwill argue that the answer is no. In a deterministic world,the only function that can play the role of chance is one thatoutputs just 0s and 1s. The role of chance involves connectionsfrom chance to credence, possibility, time, intrinsicness, lawhood,and causation. These connections do not allow for deterministicchance. - 1 Overview
