Another way to view randomness as the same as deterministic was posited by John Conway when developing the free-will theorem…
Imagine rolling all the random numbers you need for the universe’s lifetime in advance. Then simply pull them out in the order of their use… gives the illusion of total random outcomes for events - but they were still determined before the event.
