I do understand the thrust of what you are writing, I believe.
I do have a question that would be nice for you to consider and possibly respond to.
Do you equate freedom with freewill?
...Can you elaborate on what you feel is the distinction if any?
yes thats my personal view on the freedom side of will as based on causal indeterminacy versus acausal indeterminacy,sorry for any confusion on the matters.
I also believe its plausible to have a set of advancing multiplying absolute truths created by human contributions that can set the grounds for an ethical agency not having to be free this might imitate the illusion of free if emotion applies values to it and utilize it in the first priority as a filter for choices
In my personal view of what choices mean I see it as analogies to computers and software like watson that can make choices, it can have neuralnets that can be fuzzynets ,random noise that perturbs any NN types adapting function making them to work inefficiently yet similar to human neuronal simplicities..
Another question id like an answer to is how indeterminate is the randomness of the noise or if it can be proven to not be as random as once thought? And what is its speed in influence?
Is it slow in its influences allowing causation to give a higher order to information retention and use,or is it arbitrary going from fast to slow , when it is fast in influence causing no causation in informational acquisition..
Is it extremely slow as if it having no influence at all taking weeks to see any random indeterminate results which reflects its dependency on reflecting an external environment?
also
google has a 1 trillion neuralnet computer the human brain has 86billion neurons this to may answer age old questions and many other sites I can link you toward
Also there are synthetic neurons and synthetic brains that are not NN that could answer this question when they gain sentience etc if its properly made similar to a human brain eventually like darpa synapse using memristors seen a documentaries in news also saying Russians getting into memristor synthetic brain tech as well.
***and not to confuse the meaning of what I mean when I say "choice" ,I believe there is a difference in the meaning of "freewill"in its interpretation (its free agency) and the word "choice" I believe they are starkly different and can lead to confusion based on peoples diffrent backgrounds ( neurobiologist versus physicist versus mathematician etc etc), note I did not say "free choice" or just the word "will" by itself minus the "free"
this often confuses me when the word "freedom" or "free" is applied to being identical to the word "choice", as it can make me choose different interpretations based on confusion if it lacks description breaking it down analytically showing granularity..
(which I appreciate on your part for breaking what you mean down)
