Yes, but I don’t see what relevance that paragraph has to his desire for ‘determinism’. Unless he has somehow formed the impression that ‘non-deterministic’ means ‘error-prone’ or that it is impossible to formally prove correctness of non-deterministic algorithms. In fact, hardware designs are routinely proven correct (ironically, using modal logic) even though the hardware being vetted is massively non-deterministic internally.
