Dependence on factors other than initial state and input

Moving from a single-processor to a multi-processor system often exposes hidden non-determinism due to invalid assumptions about scheduling.

Being non-deterministic; involving arbitrary choices; necessitating the choice between various indistinguishable possibilities

Projection of an automaton almost always results in non-determinism.

angelic non-determinism
A notional ability always to choose the most favorable option, in constant time

With angelic non-determinism, any problem in NP would be solvable in polynomial time.
