deterministically
In predictable fashion
In a manner that produces the same outcome from the same starting conditions every time.
A deterministic process has no randomness—given identical inputs, it yields identical results: The algorithm runs deterministically, so we can reproduce the exact output.
The term appears most often in computing, mathematics, and physics.
