Assuming you had an omniscient computer that could calculate literally everything then no outside force will act on anything and the dice roll will be calculated correctly. Just because we don't have such a computer doesn't make anything not predetermined.

Do you think that your brain isn't run on math? Is there a magical force which exempts it from math? At what point does free will begin to act on your brain once math has stepped aside?
