Unpredictability describes the inability to be predicted. This is a property or the degree of some thing being unpredictable. This property is extensively used in cryptography, and in the explanation of time-like structures, such as entropy. Since future is always unpredictable, because the room for possibility prohibits knowledge of the past to fully determine the state of the future.
