Sure but does this mean that you agree it is non-deterministic?

Glad to be of service. What you say is of interest but seems to me to avoid
or omit the act of choice. Yes there are several options and game and chaos
theory are relevant to decision making but how does dynamic programming
implement the act of choice?
