Free will is how a decision-choosing algorithm feels from inside. Not much more to it, IMO.
When a decision-choosing algorithm says "I can't predict my own decisions, therefore they must be unpredictable in principle", that strikes me as unfounded.
- JulianMorrison 11y agoFree will is a scalar dimension along which decision choosing algorithms can vary. With high free will, human can adapt, customize, and innovate situationally optimized responses to an unpredictable environment. With low free will, a Sphex wasp can reactively activate one of its stored patterns and use very little expensive cognitive processing to react optimally in a predictable environment.
