Abstract: The problem of predictability, or "nature vs. nurture", in both ordered and disordered Ising systems following a deep quench from infinite to zero temperature is reviewed. Two questions are addressed. The first deals with the nature of the final state: for an infinite system, does every spin flip infinitely often, or does every spin flip only finitely many times, or do some spins flip infinitely often and others finitely often? Once this question is determined, the evolution of the system from its initial state can be studied with attention to the issue of how much information contained in the final state depends on that contained in the initial state, and how much depends on the detailed history of the system. This problem has been addressed both analytically and numerically in several papers, and their main methods, results, and conclusions will be reviewed. The discussion closes with some open problems that remain to be addressed.
