What’s your view on determinism and free will ?

LaPlace demon would be in such a position I described above. Such a being has the ability to know about the future or even the past based solely on information and the laws of nature. With chaos theory, the problem is “information”. If we have it, problem solved.
Even if you had all the information you would still only be able to predict things with various probabilities, but still.. The fact that 100 of you, in the same initial conditions, would do x 70% of the time and y the other 30% *is a law governing your behavior"--not a choice

Well, if the universe is truly deterministic, then you can’t speak of n percent probability (unless n is 100) if you have all the relevant information needed for a specific event. There would be no uncertainty in my prediction (if the universe is deterministic).

There would have to be a quantum uncertainty, not classical uncertainty

In fact the uncertainties and possible quantum states grow with time. I'm working on some ideas in which time itself is generated by the expansion of possible quantum states the universe can exist in.
