> Probabilistic systems do make sense at the edges Sure, and that's why I used the wording most application domains. > So the failure mode isn’t "probabilistic vs deterministic" per se, but where the probabilistic boundary is drawn -- and whether it’s explicit. If you take a look at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.22418 it is difficult to draw any boundaries because a dice is rolled at so many stages. Unpredictability is acknowledged but unreliable probabilistic verification is done; requirements and specifications are prompted on the fly in response to unpredictable outputs; debugging is…
