# Indeterministic (/docs/errors/chain/Indeterministic)

Code flagged as non-deterministic (e.g. using floating point) was used where determinism is enforced, such as on-chain instantiation or calls. Check the determinism mode the code was uploaded with and rebuild the contract deterministically.

Declared by the `Contracts` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`invalid_argument`](/docs/errors/invalid-argument).
