The opposite of incentive is disincentive, not centive. Ergo the opposite of inevitable is disinevitable.

Irrelevant.

Inevitable means that no matter what you do, you can't change the outcome.

Irrelevant means that no matter what you do, the outcome can't change you.

English uses more than just Latin affixes. It uses Germanic affixes. Uninevitable.

I still think neither is a word..

That's not what an inverse is.

"Inevitable" means that, as t -> infinity, P=1
In other words:

lim(t->inf) P(t) = 1


"1 / inevitable" is the inverse of the limit condition of P(t). Now, we don't know the exact formula of P(t), but it can be assumed that the function of P at some time less than t=infinity is less than one. The rate at which P approaches 1 is unknown, but that doesn't matter. Let's just take a sample function that satisfies the t<inf and the limit condition.

How about P(t) = -1/x + 1
The infinity limit condition of which is "inevitable."

The inverse of the function is P(t)^-1 = 1/(-1/x + 1)

Now, that inverts the vertical diverging asymptote, so future events where t>1 are always P>1. However, what that means for when t<1 is that...

lim(t-> -inf) P(t)^-1 = 1


In other words, the farther an event potentially occured in the past, the more certain it is to have occured.

The inverse of "inevitable" is "evidential."

That's not inverse. That's rotated. Inverse would have to be mirrored.
