Is the quantum behavior itself, with the state of the system extant but stored in [what we perceive as] an unusual format, deterministic?
For all the other forces, uncertainty creeps in because of the measurement process and quantum system interacting with the environment, and is compatible with determinism.
If you grant that there’s no in-the-territory uncertainty with mere quantum mechanics, I bet I can construct a workaround for fusing classical gravity with it that doesn’t involve randomness, which you’ll accept as just as plausible as the one that does.
This is exactly what Feynman’s argument disallows, because if you could do this, you end up knowing too much, and can measure a field to infinite precision.
I don’t know why it’s true, but it is in fact true that determinism cannot persist if you lived in a universe where gravity is classical but the other forces obey quantum mechanics, and this matters because what you are asking for is logically contradictory, sorry.

Oh, I hadn’t been reading carefully. I’d thought it was your argument. Well, unfortunately, I haven’t solved exorcism yet, sorry. BEGONE, EVIL SPIRIT. YOU IMPEDE SCIENCE. Did that do anything?
