Well, I love the idea that all the QM hocus pocus could just boil down to round off. Your "free will" is truncation error. Oops. (Funny contrast with the last episode of Devs.)

which is empirically equivalent to classical mechanics, but uses only finite-information numbers. This alternative classical mechanics is non-deterministic, despite the use of deterministic equations, in a way similar to quantum theory. Interestingly, both
alternative classical mechanics and quantum theories can be supplemented by additional variables in such a way that the supplemented theory is deterministic. Most physicists straightforwardly supplement classical<br>
