In Copenhagen, the future state of the universe isn’t uniquely determined by those things, but is uniquely determined by those things plus a lot of additional bits that represent how each measurement goes.
That’s rather misleading. If the extra bits pop into existence at time T, then the outcome at time T+1 isn’t determined by the conditions at time T-1 as standardly envisaged by determinism. Your kind of redefining determinism.
What does it mean for a bit to pop into existence? As I see it, if I measure a particle’s spin at time t, then it’s either timelessly the case that the result is “up” or timelessly the case that the result is “down”. Maybe this is an issue of A Theory versus B Theory?

I thought you were referring to collapse in that way.
