free will and determinism

Perhaps you misunderstood. ‘working backward’ is theoretically possible because chaos is entirely determined by a set of explicit causes. It is only ‘impossible’ (using the term loosely) in practice because nonlinear systems are computationally intractable, working backwards. This does not mean that backwards causality does not exist, only that it cannot be modeled. The map is not the territory and all that jazz.

Um I’m not talking about chaos, please focus on what I’m talking about as I think we’re confusing each other here. If a phenomenon is not reversible in terms of its operation (that’s its physics), then it cannot be deterministic. What part of that don’t you understand?

What part of “Brownian Motion is chaotic not random” do you not understand?

I agree with the distinction between chaotic and random but think your examples of the latter are absurd.
