I found a really awesome article on determinism in science as a general concept, but I can't seem to find it anymore. It explained how certain differential equations can have the same "past" but different "futures," and vice versa, and used that as a model to discuss determinism.

This is not exactly the article I was thinking of, but it is a good one! It looks like it will serve as an appropriate substitute for the purposes of my research project.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
