if the 'universe' is ultimately ordered, if all matter/particles/energy must obey fundamental 'laws' (i.e. physics), and if the corporeal life-form can only be accounted for via such matter/particles/energy;
then free will cannot be so. any deviation from these basic physical laws would require extraordinary forces. the sense of free will could only be a product of sensation and not, in fact, a reality.
given, however, that the experience of most persons is one of possessing such 'free will', the ramifications of such a 'truth' would be almost entirely moot, other than as a curiosity. knowing that one really hasn't free will shant change the sensation that one does. what is really gained from this knowledge? everyone's behaviour was thus destined from the opening move of the universal chess board; those who persist in the 'delusion' of possessing 'free will' are powerless to change such a delusion until the mathematical (if one may call it that) processes of physics incidentally leads them elsewhere, mentally. the reality that one hasn't free will is directly opposite the actual reality experienced. therefore the 'one true reality' specifically has created 'multiple "true" realities'.
on the other hand, if 'free will' is real, even in the slightest bit, then it must follow that there are 'places' or 'phases' in the microcosmos not subject solely to physical laws. for physical laws can allow for only one outcome; a strange quark cannot become charmed simply because it is in the mood to do so, and a light particle trapped between falling into the black hole and escaping the holes orbit cannot surrender to the black whole on a whim. the possibility of multiple outcomes based upon the will of a life-form necessarily means that at some microlocale, the life-form's perhaps ethereal will can in some way influence the physical procession across various levels of strata.
if every part of my physical being is governed by physical laws, then any 'decision' to go left or right has already been determined for me. i was powerless to not type this.
if such decisions are truly mine to make, then either our ethereal mind can 'bend' physical laws, or there are physical laws which have 'malleable' properties. what is the nature of the shaping force, then, if it isn't dependend upon pre-existing physical laws?
the possibility that i have free will *and* that the universe is ultimately ordered would hinge on the possibility that somewhere there is a neutral micro force that awaits directing from a macro source, and that the macro source is not ultimately governed by the intermediate materials, which would necessitate more neutral or 'malleable' forces, periodically spaced about the micro-macrocosmos. how ordered, then, could everything actually be? such a duality would seem paradoxic.
i simply cannot fathom how an ordered universe and free will are not mutually exclusive. either physics rules, and our choices only seem to be freely made; or our choices are genuinely ours, and some physical status awaits our offerance of definition.
there is currently no way to test if our will is free or faux. possibly, there won't ever be a way to test such a thing...
