Then you have at another extreme, a romantic type. One can't assume anything as the stimulus of the minute has influence weighted as highly as the objective of the day. Their internal program, I think, is open for many more inputs, whether important to our values or not. It causes actions without regard for any of the values and reasons I mentioned above. I know, I, like my father-in-law, and business partner, married one."
Well we are talking classic determinsim vs. free will. Even the "Romantic" type has a past history. A hard-line determinist will say that the very fact that the "Romantic" is a romantic is the result of past inputs, stretching back to the beginning of the Universe.
Every effect has a cause (if you believe in causality). Therefore the "Romantic" type has a cause.
Many people confuse determinism with predictability. Deterministic systems can be unpredictable. For example, the orbits of the planets are deterministic but were unpredictable before Newton, Copernicus, and Kepler.
Even so-called 'chaotic' systems, like the weather and the famous "sand piling" experiment are driven by causality. They may (and probably will) remain unpredictable for a long time; I assert that they are nevertheless caused and hence deterministic.
The famous "Mandelbrot set" is a fractal which depends on a simple algorithm (I wrote my own when I first saw it in Scientific American in 1989)..but it is semi-un-predictable...
Predictability says things about human capacity to understand and make projections. Determinism is more about the deep structure of reality.
