When you get some abstraction working you concretize it in something deterministic, or sort of “cache” that knowledge bit (aka write me a function, class, library, whatever). In the future, the nondeterministic path now has a deterministic piece to lean on as it explores the problem space. Rinse, repeat, eventually you have a mostly deterministic system now. Leave flexibility in space where you need that nondeterminism.
