    Measuring quantun superpositions can have different outcomes under the same circumstances, right? So therefore, it cannot be deterministic (= what you described) because randomness is involved.

      Sounds to me like we lack the understanding as to why there are different outcomes in what we perceive as identical circumstances.

      A dice roll appears random too, but it isn’t if one understands all of the inputs and variables precisely.

        It’s not that we don’t know, it’s that we can’t know, via Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Iirc, hidden variable interpretations of quantum physics have thus far failed to explain what’s happening. It seems to be probabilistic.
