Indeed, if one knew all of the initial conditions it would be possible to predict with certainty,...

Not according to current theory. That was Laplace's view, though; it's just not borne out by experiment.

Thank you for your reply!

Not according to current theory.

I would certainly agree that F-theory would put that idea to bed - but I'm not aware of any other theory that would do so. If you give me a lead, I'll follow up!

The bottom line is that under the strong determinism model, everything is an effect of a cause (even Brownian motion) and thus, determinable if only one knew the "rules" and initial conditions. It is however a single time dimension point of view inside the hypercube.
