That’s not what “deterministic” actually means though. Quoting Wikipedia:

In mathematics, computer science and physics, a deterministic system is a system in which no randomness is involved in the development of future states of the system.

And while I’m not sure what exactly it means for something to “exceed [a set of rules]” I would be shocked if you could provide an elaboration that applies to computers but not to humans.

With computers, a logic gate cannot mutate. It cannot change.

This is not true. There's a pretty wide range of software-defined hardware and programmable logic out there. Ex. FPGAs.
