  • Consider the case of a computer simulation of a worm [0]

    If your simulation predicts the worm behavior up to some tolerance, you then laugh at it's supposed free will

    There's some outside conditions that can't be controlled (the simulator is also a subset of the same universe) and may deterministically affect the worm behavior

    To fully account for these factors and their corresponding deterministic chain, the simulation must grow more and more complex

    Maybe free will could be thought instead of as a determinism ratio taking into account compute limits

    I suspect a logical contradiction could arise presuming a subset of the universe being able to simulate the whole universe

    If the simulation has to be limited, some "wiggle room" of free will must be granted

    Considering the known vastness of the universe, I might as well wiggle
