Global determinism is not possible because of the non-instantaneous character of interrelations propagations .
This derives in fact from relativity theory and the multiplicity of simultaneous events in different places.
It explains why Laplace in his famous enunciation of universal and absolute determinism (R. PASSET, p. 33) must introduce an universal and omniscient intelligence.
Of course, such an intelligence does not exist in any known living being of the past or the present.
It is however to be noted that the very disjunction principle is in itself…disjoined
In effect the “coeficient of disjunction” (i.e. the time needed for the propagation of effects between various entities) is different in all cases. Andromeda galaxy is more disjoined from us than the sun and the sun more disjoined than the moon.
The D.P. is also at the root of chaotic determinism and has basically a time dimension .
As such it must have some connection with thermodynamics.
This is a mere preliminar exploration of the subject whose consequences could be far reaching (and possibly very controversial)
