> Ultimately if the universe is deterministic, that must mean that everything that happens is predictable from the initial conditions of the universe. This is still not superdeterminism. The superdeterminist claim is a statistical one: your choice of measurement is not even approximately conditionally independent of the state of the thing you're measuring. Ever. There are plenty of deterministic processes that nonetheless wipe out most correlations over the long-term: thoroughly mixing two fluids will do it. Preserving a strong correlation between the future state of your brain and the exact luminosity of a star a billion light years away at one particular moment, over the whole history of the universe is incomprehensibly unlikely. And superdeterminists claim that this happens every single time.
