[FRIAM] Free Will in the Atlantic

[Marcus Daniels]

The perception of agency could be localized to some neural circuitry and then instrumented.   
It also wouldn't be practical to calculate where every molecule of H2O percolates to when I water a plant.    I wouldn't conclude then that H2O might still have free will.

Was the murder a necessary consequence of holistic trajectory of the

and this paper argue.  A high-order reactive set of functions are still just that.

Arguably we would need to be able to calculate such a thing, no? It may be scientifically determined that this problem is provably undecidable.
