Macrodeterminism without non-invasive measurability

Abstract
We propose a definition of determinism for a physical system that includes, besides the measured system, the measurement device and the surrounding environment. This enlarged system is assumed to follow a predefined trajectory starting from some (unknown) initial conditions that play the role of hidden variables for the experiment. These assumptions, which are different from realism, allow us to derive some Leggett-Garg inequalities, which are violated by Quantum Mechanics in the particular case of consecutive measurements on individual photon polarizations.
