Is English deterministic and/or predictable?

Aubergine. I'm guessing no one could have predicted that word would be next. If the universe is a deterministic simulation (of what?) that could be run backward and forward predictably, then of course the next word was always going to be "aubergine" with 100% certainty. In that case, all we need is the entire state of the universe to predict the next moment.
