F=ma does not directly specify a deterministic dynamical system since...
Your explanation is clear, but I just want you to get my point. This example is simplified with assumptions to make it fit the context in which I used it above. Those two initial conditions must be specified. There are still other systems which corresponds to a two dimensional state space and two initial conditions need to be specified for determinism and the law of motion is still F=ma
In fact, in the case of nonlinear methods,if the methods are used only when determinism is strong then there would be a limitation, but it is used even when determinism is weak.
interesting intellectual argument going on here, I will just observe.

Its really intellectual. I can say that they are digging deep for understanding.

Yeah I understand it is a simplifiction.
What do you mean with
More specifically, what is strong determinism and what is weak determinism?

In using nonlinear methods (algorithms) on real (Field) data, there might be the absent of clear behavior as predicted by theoretical requirement that the data be deterministic to a very good approximation ( which has been reported in some research work I have seen). However, some qualitative information can still be obtained using these tools with some adjustments. This is what I mean by weak determinism.
