  "term": "Deterministic",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Describing a system or process where the future state is entirely determined by its current state and known inputs, without any element of randomness. In toxicology, a deterministic effect is one for which the severity increases with dose above a threshold. This contrasts with stochastic effects, which are probabilistic.",
