Once inside, his own thought process would effect the events and disrupt the predictions.

Not if his thought process is determined by natural causes. You are assuming what you're trying to prove.

The thought process is determined by natural (chemical and electrical) causes and that is why it would effect the outcome. I don't think that you could include your own thought process in any calculation involving total knowledge (this is getting a little weird). That is why you would need someone outside of the universe (god if you will). But that is why I say if there is a god there is no free will - everything would be pre-determined and predictable as Zee stated.
