The problem with "free will" is that there's no physically plausible system that can satisfy the definition. If you could re-arrange the laws of physics in any way you wanted in order to give humans free will, how would you do it?
Randomness isn't free will, you're not making any choices. Determinism isn't free will, your choices are pre-determined. Well how exactly do you get free will then, without invoking the supernatural? You've just defined an abstract quality that's impossible to achieve.
imo it's all a category error - the physical process by which you make decisions is your free will, it just means that your choices are irrevocable.
