   This is universal principle for clearly defined "intelligent system" and   
   with respect to complexity (or similarity of real world) of environment   
   (area) similar to that uncertainty principle in quantum physics depends on   
   speed of particles, size of particles (neutrino or nucleon or atom or   
   molecule and so on). Thus we may speak about uncertainty principle   
   relatevely in any circumstances. Same situation is in intelligent systems.   
   There are not exact bouder between stochastic and deterministic processes   
   and all our knowledges are relative.   
   I speak for my students that "I know just one absolute truth that absolute   
   truth is absent".

   Meaning of my statement is that there is no any mechanism for full   
   description of universe (environment).

   If NN is implemented by DFA (or computer) you are right (but if we don't use   
   any generator of random values, not pseudo-random).   
   But even in this case if we have enough large number of inputs, outputs,   
   neurons and samples during learning (action) of NN it is impossible to   
   describe behavior of NN as DFA and this is nonsense.   
   And also deterministic behavior of NN is more disadvanage of it than   
   advantage.   
   If we implement NN in another platform (e.g., in chemical anisochronous   
   processes as in brain) we absolutely can not describe it by DFA.

   Why any artist is working althogh he know that never he will be Leonardo Da   
   Vinchi?   
   It is intersting and important for him. Same for me.   
   Every step is step to achievment of perfection.

   Of cause, actions are deterministic. About it another principle in my paper   
   which was source of this discussion:   
   "The principle of unity in fuzzy reasoning and certain other operations"   
   The basis of reasoning lies in operating with fuzzy images by means of a   
   process of associative recall of images. At the end of the process, a choice   
   of certain operations is carried out (recalling of it): it is therefore   
   possible to associate the successful choice (the solved task) with the   
   focusing of attention, the start of operation as programs of operation motor   
   neurons, etc. Thus the selected operation is involved as a tag in the   
   further process of reasoning.   
      
   Our fuzzy perception is converting to deterministic actions (or plan). May   
   be this property of animal's brain is reason of appearance of language and   
   abstract thinking.   
   In beginning it was language of actions (language of body), later especial   
   actions (connecting with generation of sound) were used for appearance of   
   speech and signs for verbal (logical) thinking.
