     These principles proclaim that the behaviour of a free microparticle (electron or photon described by propagators on Feynman diagrams) is strictly deterministic, while determinicity is violated under the particle interactions which correspond to the tops of Feynman diagrams having external electron or photon lines .

   • 2012, Christoph Wasshuber, Computational Single-Electronics, page 61:

     If we would feed all processing elements from a single random source, the determinicity would be destroyed due to asynchronous requests from the processing elements for new random numbers.

     The determinicity of the output z follows directly from the determinicity of hashing algorithms, the invertibility of exponentiation, and the exponent-preserving nature of the bn256 elliptic curve bilinear pairing.
