STATE-DETERMINED

An attribute of systems whose behavior is specified, can be predicted or understood, from the state it occupies currently. In contrast to history determined systems, state determined systems can be described in terms of transitions from states at one point in time to states at the next point in time, e.g., as first-order markov chains. Looking further back into the history of such a system does not add to understanding or predictability. (Krippendorff) (see state-determined system)
