Thomas asked us to explain what do we mean by superdeterminism, and I have explained what do I (and not only I) mean by that. Obviously you mean something else by this term, so it would be nice if you could give your explanation as well. In particular, you should explain the difference between determinism and superdeterminism.IttyBittyBit said:Demystifier, I don't see how your analogy is valid at all. No one mentioned anything about 'God'. How would superdeterminism be like rejecting the idea that John cheats? If anything, it means accepting that he cheats, and acknowledging that maybe the Universe cheats all the time and this is the natural order of things.
Of course, it was not necessary to use God in my explanation, but the concept of "God" in some very general sense seems suitable to talk about the cause of initial conditions. For what else might be the cause of initial conditions?
