I don’t understand, we won’t really know how to create something with free until we know how free will works, but … knowing how something works means it is deterministic.
That sentence should be read with the one immediately prior to it…. in mind !
After reading this, the recollection of volition as a “type of causality” came to mind.
While maybe not quite coming to a full circle comes to mind, grasping free-will/volition as a subtype of causality was raised in this “compatibilism” thread a while back.
Consider it a recursive approach: weighing volition as a subtype of causality against determinism as the whole enchilada of causality.
