 ### Fostering reproduciblity
 
-[Determinism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterministic_algorithm) is a valuable aspect of scientific computing, as it is necessary for reproducible science. As many powerful algorithms, due to internal state or parallel processing, behave non-deterministically SciJava Ops does not require Ops be deterministic, however if your Op can be deterministic, we highly recommend you make it so. Consider the following algorithm:

As many powerful algorithms behave non-deterministically, due to factors such as internal state or parallel processing, SciJava Ops does not *require* Ops be deterministic.
