There is the idea that consciousness cannot be expressed as a computational process (at least not a classical one) because computation is deterministic. We are a part of nature and nature seems to be unpredictable at the quantum level. Quantum states can not be predicted even when taking the whole past history of the universe into account. I think the free will lectures from John Conway also go in that direction: because some properties cannot be predetermined, free will must exist. Something must make a decision in order to have an outcome. This all goes far over my head and I may have misinterpreted the great John Conway. In that case I beg your pardon and would love to hear your thoughts on it.
