Determinism, laws, and physical possibility

We argue that the truth of determinism is not an interpretation-free
fact and we systematically overview relevant interpretational choices
that are less known in the philosophical literature. After bypassing
the well known interpretational problem that arises in quantum
mechanics we identify three further questions about the
representational role of the mathematical structures employed by
physical theories. Finally we point out that even if we settle all
representational issues the received view of physical possibility may
also allow the truth of determinism to depend on prior philosophical
convictions, notably on one's philosophical account of the nature of laws.
