A system with fixed deterministic rules and known initial conditions has an outcome that can be predicted. OTOH, the rules of QM are as fixed--unchanging--as you like, but do not allow definite prediction of experience.
We don't know anything about FW, including whether it is determined by the environment.
You can predict experiences quite reliably in aggregate. You can determine the percentages of you which will have experience A or B. The only uncertainty is which aspect of the amplitude flow you'll feel like you're in.
MWI doesn't just allow you to predict in ways that are of no practical use , it's "deterministic" in ways that are of no practical use.
