I'm not sure what point the part about nondeterminism is making, but I would be very curious how much of a chaotic system the brain really is. I think many of us would like our consciousness to be rooted in quantum noise, where it's possible to imagine ourselves having "free will", whatever that is, or anything that doesn't make us completely deterministic machines with a helpless observer. Unfortunately I can't find any evidence of that, but I do know about people who suffered the loss of all but their short-term memory, and they react so predictably to the same sensory inputs (even with some variance in the input) that it's spooky. Using current LLMs as an example, you could argue that they are a lot more nondeterministic than humans as it's normal to add some "random" values iirc.
