If reality is a fixed point, is everything predestined?
On OPH's complete-history interpretation, fate is the whole consistent history, including what its inhabitants choose. Think of a Sudoku with a unique solution. The grid's entries constrain one another, but no entry is placed by breaking the rules to reach a preferred ending. Your decisions are among the events that must fit, and their consequences remain real. Free will here means reason-responsive agency inside that structure. The universe does not rearrange events on an outside timeline or override a decision so that the same result happens anyway. Nor does a unique completion for given data prove a unique possible universe. The analogy reconciles global consistency with local participation; it does not prove libertarian freedom or guarantee a morally desired outcome.

This answer comes from OPH, Observer Patch Holography. OPH is a rigorous, consistent and complete description of the unified, self-creating computational Universe we inhabit. Its consistency is machine-checked: the fixed point at its core is constructed explicitly, and a theory with a model contains no contradiction.
To understand OPH and check every step yourself, start with the free book Reverse Engineering Reality. It builds the theory from the ground up, and the OPH Notebook answers your questions while you read.
