Let $R_\alpha$ be an irrational rotation of the circle, and code the orbit of any point $x$ by whether $R_\alpha^i(x)$ belongs to $[0,\alpha)$ or $[\alpha,1)$ -- this produces a Sturmian sequence. A point is undetermined at step $j$ if its coding up to time $j$ does not determine its coding at time $j+1$. We prove a pair of results on the asymptotic frequency of a point being undetermined, for full measure sets of $\alpha$ and $x$.
