I think that this page is misleading. A nondeterministic algorithm makes a choice as part of its computation. Making a choice, to me, implies free will. Many seem to call any algorithm which produces a difficult-to-predict output a "nondeterministic algorithm". However, the real reason why the algorithm doesn't have the same predictable outcome is because the entire input state space was not taken into account. This includes what's exactly in all of your system memory, state of all CPU cores, temperature, environmental radiation, etc. Taking all of those things into account, I bet you that your "nondeterministic algorithm" is only a simulation of one. This is also touched upon by other commenters below to some extent. [[User:02Tails|02Tails]] ([[User talk:02Tails|talk]]) 00:37, 31 May 2021 (UTC)▼
