Philosophical researches in determinism for me at least lead empirically into support for faith in God and His pre-determinism of the Universe.
C.S. Pierce's trialectical pragmaticism was an interesting hypothetical model for the nominative invention of concepts, yet subjective epistemology isnt simply trialectical in space-time nor entirely a linear function. Modern neurology has investigated and mapped a little bit of the synaptic channels and sequence of that neural network.
Small worlds networks originated with an air force plan to develop a nuclear war survivable command and control network and subsequent history has found the Internet to have a small worlds network structure and nature in general to develop such itself not uncommonly. Language and concept development seems to transcend and particular temporal arrangement of conceptual structure for a number of reasons.
Chomsky's ideas of a universal grammer have been challenged rather well by the Everett's research in South America, and make for interesting reading anyway. It may be useful to consider Wittgenstein's Blue and Brown books for contrast on on the subject of Chomskian versus Everettian linguistic deep structures.
On the general question of determinism versus indeterminism in the physical cosmos represented to empiricists it is worth mentioning its exceedingly high level of determinism from the initial hyperinflaton and the later distribution of galaxies correlating to the initial anisotropies in the surviving preponderance of matter over anti-matter because of a symmetry surplus of matter in CP violation I think to the reduction of the background temperature of the Universe from very very high toward absolute zero as well as it's near isotropic distribution with minor inhomogeneities around the measurable Universe. The Universe moves with inexorable determinism from a lowest state of entropy toward a highest and the distribution of matter in the Universe and its characteristics reflect that determinism.
Quantum uncertainty underlying the Universe is a paradox yet a necessary component of the implicit uncertainty required for change and motion, being and becoming. The uncertainty in this universe may be determined in alternate dimensions however, and virtual particles may reflect the intrusion of alternate dimension particles in all possible worldlines and all possible universes interacting deterministically in this particular Universe. In a multi-dimensional monism the pluralism of alternate Universes and dimensions may like the paintings of Malcom Escher as reciprocals of one function or schema.
Interestingly rational and spiritual human thought seem to be the most potentially indeterminate element of the Universe, and its realizing the nature of The One (such as is God) humanity may at once become most free , undetermined yet pre-determined through the grace of Jesus Christ unto renormalization with the Author of all that is.
P.F. Strawson and W.V.O. Quine wrote a few good books on logic and linguistic philosophy, yet Schopenhauer's ideas that go a little beyond Kant's epistemology in finding that human cognition must interpret sense data and does add something to it to make it appear as it does is a useful way to integrate ideas of Plotinus about the One, about appearances to human perceptions, Sartre's ideas about existential epistemology and the reef of solipsism phenomenalities that have concerned philosophers perennial about the subjective nature of human experience in a theory of knowledge.
