Probability and indeterminacy

"Probability and indeterminacy" as a book-category gathers works that explore chance, uncertainty, and the limits of prediction across disciplines and forms: from rigorous textbooks and popular science on probability theory, statistics, and quantum indeterminacy to philosophical treatments of free will, causation, and epistemic limits; from applied analyses of risk, forecasting, and decision-making under uncertainty to experimental fiction and poetry that use randomness or open-ended structure as a narrative device. It includes histories and biographies that trace how cultures have understood luck and risk, methodological guides for modeling uncertain systems, and imaginative literature that interrogates fate, contingency, and multiple possible outcomes. Unified by an interest in how indeterminate processes shape knowledge, behavior, and meaning, the category appeals to mathematicians, scientists, philosophers, social scientists, and readers or writers intrigued by how unpredictability is conceptualized and represented.
