>I really think this, along with much philosophical musing about free will, is entirely missing the point. Pre-determination is essential to free will.
Causal chains are required for free will to make sense, but causal chains do not require robust pre-determination. We regularly simulate causal chains that make a narrative sense and are predictive, but only within complexity limited bounds, without the infinite precision needed for robust pre-determination.
