Uncertainty implies randomness in Mathematics and Physics!

This paper is really thought provoking in its reasoning behind the HUP and how it imposes upon Maths and Physics.

However, you then have to compare that with Gerard 't Hooft's paper that says that there IS determinism in QM after all!

So who would one tend to pay more attention to? t' Hooft after all, is a Nobel Laureate.

The paper is not about determinism, but completeness, specifically algortihmic completeness a la Chaitin.

I think to some extent, it is about "determinism". He has always shown a fondness for Bohmian mechanics. And we know how that approach to QM tries very hard to make it look very non-Copenhagen.
