The Difference of Nondeterminism & Stochasticity

[00:00:00]The big takeaway here, the most important piece of all of this, is that this is the essentially the built-in nomenclature in the scientific community.

[00:00:13]And so, when we use the word nondeterminism, we tend to mean nondeterministic in time, not in outcome.

[00:00:27]So, the idea here is that these uh solutions that you're going to propose to these problems, they're going to get the answer.

[00:00:37]You just don't know when they're going to get the answer, but they're all going to get the answer, and it's going to be the right answer.

[00:00:45]And so, the nondeterministic piece here simply means we don't know when this is going to complete.
