Holographic principles

It seems to me that holographic principles are really stating that the
state of some region of the universe is completely determined by the
boundary conditions, as would be the case if it were described by
a differential equation having a unique solution to the boundary value
problem. It does imply a deterministic universe.

There are many such equations - eg the wave equation.

How does this fit in with the stochastic nature of qunatum mechanics?
Or does the holographic principle apply to a spatial region of the
Multiverse (which is deterministic)?

Cheers
