Accidental Necessity
Accidental Necessity is a modal-semantic category in philosophical theology designating the necessity attributed to a proposition or event solely in virtue of its being true or actual at a particular time, without implying intrinsic or logical necessity, thereby distinguishing it from natural or absolute necessity within debates on divine foreknowledge and human free will.
