    A deterministic system is a system where the future states are fully determined by its previous states, with no random factors involved. Deterministic systems can be described by differential equations and their behavior can be predicted if the initial conditions are known exactly. Examples include physical systems, quantum mechanics, chaos theory, and economic models like Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans, while stochastic processes and random walks are considered non-deterministic systems.
