ˌɪndɪtəːmɪˈneɪʃ(ə)n

noun  Astrosoteriology

one of three approaches to the structure of the Sideresis embodying a stance of indeterminism, essentially to say that events such as the scope of man and those both preceding and succeeding it took place to favour humanity only by way of chance rather than by some predestined course; in turn, this view rejects the doctrine of returnism and also subjects the entire endeavour of transcension to chance which then undermines the role of humanity’s conferment of scope.
