Actually, my point is that we act as if we believe we have free will. That was intended to support Nick's claim that everyone seems to believe things science denies.

Sure, ok. I don’t know what any of this has to do with Russ’ lecture on free will.
I was just responding in the affirmative to the apparently underlying question of if we are all reactive machines. Of course we are. While the reaction could be complicated, or the stimulus could be communicated over a faulty channel and thus result in a response that is inappropriate, how *could* it be any other way? I didn’t say anything about the taxonomy of machines being limited or any individual instance being simplistic. That’s just a straw man.

playing "the Imp(uter)" I think that is similar to what Glen has asserted/suggested/implied/offered?

I’m claiming all conversations are like that. Maybe the agents have a little more state, and the transactions are less frequent. Same.
