::: The consensus in '''your''' writings is such -- I have doubts about the scientific literature in general. But that has nothing to do with my assertion -- the nonpredictability is not due to indeterminancy, but due to external inputs. -- [[User:Arthur Rubin|Arthur Rubin]] | [[User_talk:Arthur_Rubin|(talk)]] 17:42, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

::::The citations in [[Arbiter (electronics)]] support the view that Arbiters once they have gone metastable have indeterminate behavior. Do you have any references to back up '''your''' personal view? <small>&mdash;''The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by'' [[User:24.23.213.158|24.23.213.158]] ([[User talk:24.23.213.158|talk]]&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/24.23.213.158|contribs]]) 23:09, 1 March 2006 (UTC{{{3|}}})</small><!--Inserted with Template:Unsigned2-->

::::: The <U>article</U> [[Arbiter (electronics)]] supports my view. "Even synchronous computers need Arbiters to deal with input from outside the clock ___domain of the central processing unit: from keyboards, networks, disks, etc. " It's the external input which causes the nonpredictability, with Arbiters partially mitigating that unpredictablitility.
