unpredetermined
Left to chance
Not decided or established in advance.
Unpredetermined emphasizes that an outcome, choice, or condition remains open rather than fixed beforehand: The schedule is unpredetermined—we'll figure it out as we go.
The word appears in philosophical and scientific contexts discussing free will or causation, contrasting with views that events are predetermined by prior causes.
