👉 In mathematics, a statement is said to be "predeterminate" if it can be proven without further justification that it must hold true for all possible values of its variables. In other words, the statement cannot be proven false by any means other than what has been stated. For example, consider the statement: "The product of two numbers is always greater than or equal to one." This statement is predeterminate because if we were to prove this statement without further justification, it would have to hold true
