An algorithm with an indeterminate output is still an algorithm.

The issue here is not so much that it's the output that is indeterminate, but the "algorithm" itself.

There's nothing indeterminate about the algorithm though. It's a fixed set of instructions fed into a Turing compatible machine like any other program.

And there's nothing indeterminate about the results of a pseudo-random number generator, but you seem to be missing my point ?
