Abstract
Sources of predictability in the basic laws of physics are described in the most general theoretical context -- the quantum theory of the universe as a whole. (To appear in the Proceedings of the conference on Fundamental Sources of Unpredictability held at the Santa Fe Institute, March 28 to 30, 1996 to be published by Complexity.)
