yes, chaos theory, including strange attractors, is still deterministic. it acts at a level where the tiny probabalistic effects of a multitude of tiny particles cancel out in ways to miraculously make the larger subjects of interest predictable. it's the same phenomenon underlying the wisdom of crowds (and the pricing function in fair markets): each individual can be wildly incorrect in an observation, but averaging many (independent) observations together reveals stable insight.
