But surely phenomena in quantum physics and Conways Life are random, but computable?

Being computable, they are not random, although they can be chaotic and can look random (and pass some statistical test for it), but are not random in the strong sense of the word.

QM is computable, unless you introduce a non computable hamiltonian, but this is not known in Nature (nor even easy to describe how that could been detected). The non computability appering in observation is due to a special kind of FPI (accepting Everett).

​Randomness. And possibly the singularity at the center of a Black Hole too, but we won't know that for certain until we figure out if space and time is quantized or not. ​
