Is my definition of free will plausible or utter bunkum? Does it even exist anyway? Can you do better?

Free will is an ability of an agency to appreciate the impact it has on the world & / or itself & act (or cease acting) in a way which could change a situation (or leave it as it is) in some way which rightly or wrongly is judged to be desirable. Strictly speaking this ability may not be truly 'free' as such because at the deepest level of functionality what we call 'choice' is actually driven by brain chemistry & the physics of electrical impulses within a uniquely evolved brain BUT this is irrelevant whenever an agent (i.e. a sane adult rather than an immature or deluded individual) understands realistic connotations of an action & takes this action without being under duress e.g. a gun to the head. There may be levels of free will (very easy > very difficult) where ever genuine capability exceeds degree of adversity however it still exists because we are (usually) free to exert ourselves to any degree of effort if we understand that we can but often we don't because we believe we cannot. i.e. If you believe free will exists it does. If you don't it doesn't.

I know this is a contradiction the mind doesn't like but perhaps the universe is arranged in ways our minds cannot grasp. Or free will either does / doesn't actually exist in some form?

Q1. How do you define free will? (be very precise here -don't fall into the trap of just saying 'Doing what you want to do' -isn't everything that?)

Q2. Does it / can it really exist & how?

To jump to my answer

Please go to the end

I

Each and Every Thing

Inner or Outer

Bodily Sensible

Or Not

Is Inherently Free

From the Limitations

Imposed by

Sensorial Knowledge

Sensorial Knowledge

Pivots on Identity

Which is

Indissolubly linked to

Non-identity

Otherwise

Change could not be

II

IF Sensorial Knowledge

Turns subdued

By Non-sensorial One

What’s very unlikely

Since Newborn Logic

Was unacknowledged

And misnamed

‘Philosophy’

III

Fullness and Simultaneity

Are understood

And the Train we call

Experience

Appears like

Infinitesimally

Immersed and Interconnected

In the Wholeness

Where Identity

Plays a Role

By Non-identity

Perfectly Balanced

IV

That is

The Indefinite

Where Everything Happens

Every Instant

And the ‘lines’

We assemble and interpret

As One’s Experience

Are Melted

But not Confused

With Any Other’s

V

So There are

Numberless

Simultaneous

‘Myself’

For Each and Every

Supposed Self Here

For Each and Every

Identity

Be it a

Pack of ‘universes’

Or a

Subatomic Particle

VI

Numberless

But

Only the Ones

Compatible

With Wholeness’

Auto-function

That is

Not to Conflict with infinity

For an Obvious Reason

Always Non-capitalized

Not to Change Impair

VII

Which means

Instantaneous Annihilation

In a Sparkle of Vision

Soon to be followed

By Another

From One or the Other

Of the Innumerable

Points of View

VIII

Like in a Gigantic Film Can

Where All Photograms

Where Stored and Alive

At the Same Time

And Each of Them

Were Simultaneously Used

By All the Rest

So giving

Individual Experience

As a By-product

Of Simultaneity

Plus

The Particular

Bias

Of One Local Condition

IX

A Stone a Ant a ‘Universe’

Are Free

Because

As Self-standing Entities

They are Not-at-All

And in the Contingency

Which is the

Apparent Collapse of

Simultaneity

They assemble their

Next Step

According to their

Inner Resonance

Of the Simultaneous All

X

So

All in All

The (imagined) Part locally proposes

The (imagined) Indefinite locally disposes

The All remaining

Live and Untouched

Like Eraclitus’ Fire

XI

Let’s call it

All / Being (universal) / Eternity (non-linear)

Causality (extended) / Change / etc

XII

Untouched

Because at the Bedrock

Of Eraclitus’ Fire

And

Of Parmenides’ Being

For That Matter

There are Thales’

Impersonal Innumerable Elemental

Gods

The Root Intelligences

Effecting the Swap

Between

The Identity Side

And the Non-identity One

For Each and Every ‘Being’

XIII

So keeping the

Fluidity needed by Change

XIV

Let’s call Them

The White Infinitons

Provided that

Infinity

Didactically Imagined like

The Black Infinitons

XV

By Anaximander called

Τὸ ἄπειρον

Tò ápeiron

What whose

No Sensorial Experience is allowed

XVI

‘Be’ There at the

Bedrock of All

To Anchor

The Indefinite

To Its Indefiniteness

And

Impersonally

Make It

The Land of Freedom

That is

The Inescapable Jail

XVII

ANSWER

Free Will

Is the Universal Logic

Of Simultaneity

Used Each and Every Moment

Actually ‘Instantly’

In Indefinite Degrees

By Any Being Whatsoever

So much Better

If

A Well Informed

One
