To me it isn't the stastical quantum randomness that collapses to free will, it's the fundamental uncomputable nature of predicting the universe, both in our inability to acquire the information per the uncertainty principle, and the fact we can't build a computer big enough or fast enough. We'd need more matter than there us matter to track state, and of course it won't be faster than the universe generates new states and data.
Do in the end if we can't get the data due to scale uncertainty and the speed of light, cannot store it and process it (not enough matter or time), then we fall back to: do people appear to have free will? We cannot perform the computation to refute that, so basically we do.
- sgt101 5y agoI guess you are saying that the universe implements a particular BQP function in the minimal QC required to run it on the power that was put into it at the start? What does that mean though, if I write down something like an Eager Beaver function and start to try to solve it?
