I think so. What choice is there in the field mathematics? I don't see that mathematicians ever had any choice but to eventually converge at the same answer given the same conjecture.
Mathematics is not an agent, it cannot be controlled anyway. But mathematicians have choice over what branch of math to pursue.

An expected utility maximizer has no choice but to pursue the world state it assigns the highest expected utility. The computation to determine which world state has the highest expected utility is completely deterministic. The evidence it used to calculate what to do was also not a matter of choice.
Just a minor thought connected with the orthogonality thesis: if you claim that any superintelligence will inevitably converge to some true code of morality, then you are also claiming that no measures can be taken by its creators to prevent this convergence. In other words, the superintelligence will be uncontrollable.
