Its like a ball rolling down the hill. It can't roll up the hill. Or sideways. Just down. But the course it ends up taking is the interaction of so many factors, it can hardly be said to be pre-determined. And two balls rolling down the same hill will find some small variations in terrain or wind or what ever, and over time end up in quite different spots.
