Hidden-variable theory
Classical determinism, that is, emerges from the collective behavior of random microscopic quantum histories.
Thomas Hertog • On the Origin of Time: Stephen Hawking's Final Theory
The key difference with the classical mechanics of Newton and Einstein is that the laws of quantum theory predict only probabilities for how things will be at a later moment but no certainties.

it stands in contrast with quantum mechanics.

Quantum theory is, as I have said, one such theory. But the other three main strands of explanation through which we seek to understand the fabric of reality are all ‘high level’ from the point of view of quantum physics. They are the theory of evolution (primarily the evolution of living organisms), epistemology (the theory of knowledge) and the t

Working out what Bohm’s invisible wave will do requires the same computations as working out what trillions of shadow photons will do.
David Deutsch • The Fabric of Reality
Whether we like it or not, uncertainty seems to be ingrained in the nature of the universe, and it is why we can never predict the impact on a human life of events at its earliest or subatomic level.
