I don't understand the meaning of nondeterminism in this context. Definition of a nondeterministic language from the linked wiki:
> Languages with significant operations (such as execution order) that are predominantly nondeterministic; the same answer cannot always be expected in the same circumstance.
What are the significant operations in this language that cannot always be expected to produce the same result?
- dmos62 7y agoFound an interesting "esotheric" probabilistic language called Entropy: http://andrew.wang-hoyer.com/experiments/entropy/ http://andrew.wang-hoyer.com/experiments/entropy/

- nickodell 7y agoIf you have two rules like this: H -> O H -> 2O then the interpreter will pick one at random. It is possible to write entirely deterministic programs, but some programs are non-deterministic.
