A system where a given sequence of inputs will always produce the same sequence of outputs.

A typical example of a deterministic system is a pure software system. Each time you enter a specific sequence of commands, you get the same response or output from the software system. Technical systems are generally nondeterministic, because the system components may deteriorate and fail. Social systems are also nondeterministic because the system's behavior is partly dependent on human operators who may commit errors. Sociotechnical systems are hence nondeterministic.
