But the code produced from the formal spec would still be nondeterministic. And I believe CodeSpeak doesn't wish to regenerate the entire program with each spec change, but apply code changes based on the changes to the spec. Maybe there could be other benefits to formalisation in this case, but determinism isn't one of them.
