Indeterminacy in psychology.

D D Smith1.   

Abstract

There is an irreducible uncertainty in the prediction of human behavior because the dynamics of the brain, as a self-organizing system consisting of many millions of elements, are inherently indeterminate. Thus the Laplacian ideal of universal laws relating knowable causes to predictable effects cannot be realized in psychology.
