A note on the determinateness of the utility function.

Deconstruction is a philosophy of "indeterminateness" and its opposing philosophy, "determinateness".

Logical determinism or Determinateness is the notion that all propositions, whether about the past, present, or future, are either true or false.

Similarly, determinateness, or quality, and magnitude, or quantity, are each both preserved and sublated in the concept measure.

In the realm of Quantity, the relationship between Something and Other lacked any mutual Qualitative Determinateness.

If it were not above and beyond the determinateness, it would not feel it as its negation and would feel no pain."

Now, however, that Qualitative Determinateness has returned, the Quantum loses its simple self-relation and can relate to itself only through a Qualitative Other that is beyond itself.

The One, though, as negatively related to all aspects of Quality excepting its own Quality of being the Void, cannot take on a Qualitative determinateness like Determinate Being did.

Primordial matter possesses what may be called the most attenuated reality, since it is pure indeterminateness, God possesses the highest and most complete reality, since He is in the highest grade of determinateness.

Logocentrism is the term Derrida uses to refer to the philosophy of determinateness, while phallocentrism is the term he uses to describe the way logocentrism itself has been genderized by a "masculinist (phallic)" and "patriarchal" agenda.

Kodama later picked up market determinateness or demand articulation, which he defined as "a dynamic interaction of technological activities that involves integrating potential demands into a product concept and decomposing this product concept into development agendas for its individual component technologies".

Quantum Theory: Shanks early work was focused on so-called hidden variables theory of non-relativistic elementary quantum mechanics, and the problem of the construction of classical models (models exhibiting the properties of determinateness and determinism) for quantum measurement statistics.

In order to deal with the determination of user preferences in the context of emerging technologies, Teubal introduced the term market determinateness as "the degree of specificity of the market signals received by the innovating firm and consequently to the extent to which it anticipates demand.

He takes the topic of truth to be the topic of what "determinately holds" ("A timeless truth that floats free of determinateness is a nonscience fiction") and appeals to quantum mechanics to show that there are problems about timeless truth as understood through determinateness.

For example, Catherine Clément and Hélène Cixous in "The Newly Born Woman" (1975) decry the "dual, hierarchical oppositions" set up by the traditional phallogocentric philosophy of determinateness, wherein "death is always at work" as "the premise of woman's abasement", woman who has been "colonized" by phallogocentric thinking.
