Your act of seeing the pre-conditions itself affects the pre-conditions.
Therefore the event was not pre-determined. It depends on whether you see or do not see.
Whether you see or do not see, itself depends on other factors. However, your investigation of those factors itself affects those factors.
Your investigation of that investigation itself affects the results of that investigation.
Your further investigation of that investigation into that investigation itself affects the results of the second-mentioned investigation.
Etc.
