The Geiger counter case identifies radioactive decay as necessary within the actual causal constellation, meaning necessity is not eliminated but relativized to background conditions.

Causal constellation(as used in metaphysics to describe what brings about an event): All the different conditions and factors that work together to make something happen; the complete set of causes involved in an event.
Geiger counter case(as used in metaphysics and causation): A famous thought experiment in philosophy about a device that detects radioactive particles, used to explore questions about how things happen and what makes events occur.
Necessity (in philosophy)(describing what kind of claim is being made about supernatural things): Something that must be true or must exist; it couldn't possibly be otherwise (as opposed to something that just happens to be true but could have been different).
Radioactive decay(as the example of a physical process): When an unstable atom spontaneously breaks apart and releases energy; it's what happens inside radioactive materials.
