Determinism/Van Inwagen/Pauen: the principle of the causal closure says that only physical explanation may be used. - It is not about a need for certain causal chains.
Only requirement: that for any higher order describable change there is a physically describable change.
Thesis: from full description later states can be derived.

Determinism/freedom/Moore: determinism does not entitle us to the conclusion that nothing else could have happened.

a) possible actions
b) physical impossibility.
G.E. Moore: For the purposes of a) it is possible to say "I could have decided otherwise" - ("conditional analysis").
