Determinism is falsified by quantum measurement, not superposition (which is deterministic), and even then only pragmatically, rather than philosophically.

You can view wave function collapse as invalidating your priors and it still works without observation. The special case of quantum superposition being indecomposable function, or one you can't Curry if you prefer. QM is actually lucky that there are only two exit basins, n≥3 is where you get the stronger form of indeterminism. Classic Chaos is deterministic with inf precision, but riddled basins require absolute precision which is stronger, and the wada property is still not deterministic with absolute precision. Example of the Newton fractal and the wada property. https://gauss.math.yale.edu/fractals/MandelSet/RealNewton/NMWP/NMWP.html https://gauss.math.yale.edu/fractals/MandelSet/RealNewton/NM... Binary black holes and the Wada property https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.10741 https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.10741 Think of it as going north from Mexico, crossing the border and finding yourself in Canada. You can also approach it from KAM and porous sets etc... if that works better for you.
