The keyword here is initial state. You can trace it all the way back to its initial state. And what is considered to be that single initial state in software is most likely a great multitude of inputs combined together on a hardware design level.

I am always highly suspicious about claims of paranormal activity or extraordinary claims; however, I would not immediately dismiss it. It may very well be that we have missed some fundamental law or that some fundamental law is wrong (though such claims would warrant some evidence before investigation).
In the end, math, logic and science is our interpretation of what we know of the universe. Some things may be very elusive or some things may lie outside of what we can perceive.
