Perfect, absolute knowledge of everything, be it grounded in physical necessity or predestined omniscience, would allow one to predict the future with utter confidence and total accuracy. I do not believe even Fate can do that, though Fe comes very close indeed. Since at least a small percentage of events cannot be forecast because what occurs, where and when it occurs, in some instances, still remains purely random. These non-caused happenings occur in nature and along the spiritual highways of the world. They cannot be predicted because no law of prediction governs them, except perhaps some shaky rules of probable chances of happening.
This is good news and should offer solace to humanity. Pure randomness and non-caused events leaves room for the possibility of human freedom of movement and choice, as free will is at work in the universe.
Most events are caused either from internal forces like nature, or external forces like nurturing, and even a freely willed act or choice is usually self-caused when not other-directed.
As asleep herd creatures we enjoy some liberty, but mostly are determined and steered by spiritual and human mistresses and masters, by genetics and environment. As we develop, maverize, awaken and separate from others, we become more self-willed and less other-willed.
