I wonder if it's possible to prove that you can't end up with a non-deterministic system if that system is constituted only by deterministic parts? I get the sense that such a proof is possible, but I am not sure. We can trivially prove it for deterministic systems that we can model mathematically, but what about a generic proof for those systems that are beyond our modelling capabilities?

Regarding existence itself, I agree that determinism is not an exhaustive set of possibilities (if it was, it would imply an infinite chain of causes, which presents its own problems). I just challenge the idea that one can possibly get a non-deterministic system if we assume that we're working with purely deterministic components/rules.

I've been thinking about it like we're located in some pocket of reality whose local conditions generate the nature we know and love, but outside of which might be unrecognizable.

Whatever the Big Bang event was, I'm assuming it was a result of some exterior nature.

What I worry about is whether or not its even possible to connect the dots between the two.

Gödel's second theorem may just straight up make this whole exercise pointless.

Just imagining that outcome gives me the urge to primal scream.

All I know for certain is I've got a lot of questions.
