Implication

This paper argues for free will's viability in decision-making, suggesting a model that reconciles psychology and physical processes.

Key Points

  • The framework offers an operational freedom that bridges psychological and physical processes, enhancing the understanding of free will.
  • Empirical grounding is emphasized, linking agential abilities directly to decision-making outcomes without modal assumptions.
  • This approach aims to resolve the tension between determinism and free will through information processing insights, fostering clearer discussions.
  • By modeling potential actions, the theory presents a nuanced view of agential capacity, challenging traditional divides between levels of existence.
