Abstract
A hybrid system is said to have the hidden possibility of indecision if the solution of its continuous-valued variables is discontinuous in the initial data of these variables. This definition is justified in the context of well-known results concerning ordinary differential equations with discontinuous right-hand side. The hidden possibility of indecision suggests behavior in the presence of arbitrarily small noise that is not reflected in the behavior of the classical solutions.
