Stochastic determinism is still determinism, in the philosophical sense. On the other hand, certainly, the probabilistic (and metabolically/computationally bounded) nature of the mind is an important part of why it doesn't seem to fall into certain "paradox traps" the way a nonstochastic axiom schema might.
You should probably go right up on compatibilism about free will, because at this point, you're re-litigating a debate that hasn't been considered philosophically interesting or nontrivial for ages.
