Also consider predeterminism to be like a movie or video tape that you have recorded. If you play back the movie over and over, nothing changes - no butterfly effects change the movie, it stays the same. This is why I don't see prederterminism as complementary to butterfly effect and see them as opposites.

Consider that you are watching a movie over and over again and it is exactly determined to be the same movie. There are no butterfly effects in this determined situation because the movie is entirely predictable. If the universe was a movie tape, and was played over and over again in a loop (or could be played potentially over and over again) I do not see this as butterfly effect but rather lack of it.

If on the other hand we add free will into the mix and there is no predetermined computations or plan, then there plenty of butterfly effects and the movie changes spontaneously
