Modal logic
can entertain an infinite number of Universes with any kind of self-consistent
premises within them I guess, yet logical structures may not be all that exists
or could exist with actual Universes, since logic is a kind of structure itself
unlike illogical structures that may exist. If sound has structure,
alternatively, it may not have recombinatory logic, although echoes can be
logically extrapolated from a sound source, and light waves may alter with blue
and red shift characteristics consistent logically with their structure and
that of the medium they travel in, the unknown like dark energy cannot readily
be given logical context except in observation and comparison to known structures.
One must
assume a given character or modal structure for any universe that one would make behavioral
predictions about. Some simple predictions of deterministic behavior can be made upon
prior decisions a person has made with the free will of the individual being
consistent with predictions about his determined behavior. His free will has bound him to predictability like a chess player with a known kind of game.
It is also possible to make predictions early in life- about babies’ behaviors for example concerning basic material needs. A baby has free will yet its behavior is deterministic to adult others. Various stages in life’s way are more difficult to predict concerning an individual’s behavior of course, yet to someone smart enough it isn’t difficult. Just know for example the vote for two articles of impeachment of the President was completely partisan with no Republicans voting for and just two or three Democrats voting against. That was predetermined and easy for even dummies to predict, yet the politicians are said to have free will.

I will cut
this reply short, for I have other things to move on to. There are numerous
approaches to considering the theoria of determinism though. One may study it
for years.
Propositions
that can't be falsified, such as true foreknowledge in a superreal context, can
have speculative answers. Tegmark's Mathematical Universe had decisions people
make in a level 4 or 5 Multiverse switching them to an appropriate Universe
consistent with the decision.. In other words Vincent would make all possible
choices and gradations of a choice and a Universe would exist with the
consequences of that choice where his mind would go. The idea was that
all-possible-universes actually exist and it is said that thought switches seamlessly
to an appropriate Universe. Sailor know about the petty relativity of real wind
speed vs. apparent wind speed, and time has a comparative illusory nature in
that it seems to exist, as does motion, yet in actuality every possible event
in the history of every Universe always exists a priori and conscious minds
journey through each with a succession of self-bodies at the right stage in the
right condition to receive the journeying mind. God I suppose created the
infinite Multiverse and knows the disposition of each as He views the past, present
and future of everything as if it were a museum established for eternity
perhaps (it is in His mind after all that anything exists. Perhaps the
Multiverse in that context would be like dreams and memories stored in the
mind, and dreams could take almost every possible form based on the real
memories. I am not saying here that life is like a dream or a rowboat.
