[Filligree]

Why not? All the laws of physics we know of are already deterministic.

[gbrown → Filligree]

Except (maybe) all of quantum mechanics

[taneq → gbrown]

Just because there are things we can't measure from inside this universe doesn't mean that those things aren't deterministic.

There is no reason to believe that non-local hidden variables are the reason for the probabilistic nature of QM.

Many worlds is another classic interpretation that works.

[hyperpallium → taneq]

What would be the nature of those things, given that we find no correlation at all with things in this universe?

I could believe we just aren't measuring with enough precision (and perhaps, it's impossible to do so). But that's still deterministic and inside our universe.
