A nonce is a token specifically meant to prevent replay attacks. There's no sane reason to assume TPM is deterministic, as that would defeat the purpose of all the security.

You're right, i somehow skipped over that in reading. And you would want a TPM to be deterministic, after all one major use of the TPM is validating the hardware and boot state is unchanged. Is the state except of the nonce deterministic?
