I would say that the "abstract" operates on a level of nature that we haven't deciphered yet.
That doesn't excuse these "abstract" qualities from behaving according to deterministic laws. It just means that we don't understand the interactions that produce them, therefore they appear outside the realm of determinism--when viewed with our limited perceptive tools.
