1. (''[[Probability]]''): Of an as-yet unhappened event, having the [[probability]] of happening of One. Given specified criteria, certain. If this, then that. Processable without syntax error by a Turing Machine.  
1. (''[[Probability]]''): Of an as-yet unhappened event, having a [[probability]] of one. Fully predictable. Given specified criteria, certain. If ''this'', then ''that''. Processable without syntax error by a Turing Machine.  


''Compare'' with [[stochastic]] (''not certain to happen, but having a calculable probability'') and ''[[uncertain]]'' (''impossible to predict'').
''Compare'' with [[stochastic]] (''having a probability less than one'') and [[uncertain]] (''impossible to predict'').


2. (''Valuation'') A [[value]] which can be assessed without any hand-waving appeals to the referee, common-sense, crying out loud, or five leading dealers in the market for the relevant financial instrument.  An a solution that any old chump, given instructions in sensible English, could arrive at without the need for another fellow’s opinion. Now you might think the [[Negotiation|negotiation]] of [[Master agreements|standard form trading agreements]] is the sort of thing that one might, by now, have reduced to a set of simple [[deterministic]] rules that even a pocket calculator could follow, but you would be wrong. Just try following the definition of {{csaprov|Valuation Date}} in a {{csaprov|CSA}} if you don’t believe me. <br>
