Free Will Argument

Introduce a notion of compatibilist free will in which the human type of free will is similar to what algorithms would have under CF (e.g. humans are also determined, but because we are – as an entity – the algorithm unfolding, it feels like we are causing it, even though there is no other way it could be; or computational irreducibility means we cannot predict our own behaviour perfectly, so our minds model it as if we were causing it).

Note that it is possible for consciousness to be non-epiphenomenal but for there to be no free will outside the compatibilist sense. Consciousness has some function, which natural selection operates on, but this is not 'chosen' any more than any physical object 'chooses' to obey the laws of physics.
