UNCHARTED VOYAGE
Discussions if the world is deterministic or non-deterministic are at least 2000 years old. The answer might be non-definite itself and in terms of probability functions; more-or-less like reply to famous question :"How long is the coastal line of Britain?- Indefinitely long , depends how exactly you measure".
We might probably fish out the information from future equally well as from the past - but the further from now, the more blurred is the picture, dissolved in probabilities and enthropy growth.
It resembles an excursion into the mountains without a map. We go forwards, and with every step we make small choices ; selecting less-inclined slopes, avoiding limbos and ravines, instinctively controlling our enthropy.
The other possible routes exist ,and plenty of other tourists make other choices.Looking back, we remember well the past track;looking forwards , we see only a few next steps, which can change anyhow in the last moment. The mountains exist, if we walk them or not - although our presence changes them a bit.
Whenever a single atom changes its position, the whole new world of probabilities is created. The other worlds go forwards by other routes. Perhaps a small consolation for die-hard non-determinists would be the knowledge, that this walk of life which they actually follow with their observations and diaries is the longest of all possible for them...
