The use of Imperative Determinants as Authorities for human living is Finite Determination, that explains reason, purpose and meaning of any state or entity in terms of results and products. The existence of apple trees like Poison Ivy, would have no significance if were not for the results and products of apples as a food and commodity. If all human activity and behavior were determined by Imperative Determinants, human conduct would be that of an automaton in which action in present would be required to correspond to known and certain conditions in future. By the absence of Imperative Determinants the facility of volition is possible.

From Finite Determination specific and singular value and consequence is assigned which is termed Definitive Value. Definitive Value defines states and entities not upon the qualities and conditions they exhibit in their natural state as inherent in nature, but upon the results and products they produce which limits and restricts the identity, definition, context to singular qualifications, and wherein they are dependent for value and consequence upon conditions outside their innate constitution.

Snow is a necessary condition of ground cover, as a blanket to prevent the freezing and destruction of vegetation within the soil by very cold air temperatures. Snow defined by the results and products it produces, may be considered as pure nuisance by anyone except those associated with winter products industries.

As opposed to Finite Determination is the Absent Determinant which allows for any given subject to assume any identity, definition and context which may be appropriate to any given circumstance. The tree may be defined as building material, home to birds, food for bees, a land mark or refuge from the sun, a communicative spirit or the epitome of beauty and any number of other things.
