Abstract
We propose a definition of determinism for a physical system that includes, besides the measurement device, 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 a type of time Bell inequalities, which are violated by Quantum Mechanics. In order to illustrate this violation, we discuss the particular case of measurements on a spin 1/2 particle.
