MWI is a fully deterministic theory, but it is not the
only deterministic theory consistent with QM.
I believe that 't Hooft's theory is more natural from the point of view that
universes are programs. It is hard for me to understand how you get
interference between ``nearby´´ universes or programs. According to 't Hooft
QM would arise in a ``single universe´´
