An Emergent Property of Life
Free Will is explored not as an absolute, but as a demonstrable and variable emergent property of life.
This model suggests that determinism accounts for ~95% of our current state — physics, biology, and chemistry. Social constructs like morality and culture make up another ~3%. The remaining ~2% is personal agency: attention and conscious choice.
Drawing from anthropology, cognition, and even quantum physics, the project argues that free will emerges when systems reach a threshold of complexity. Logical frameworks, such as 2x2 and 3x3 truth models, help illustrate this phenomenon within layered conditions.
Core concepts include "The Observer," "The Veils," and "Attention as Currency" — all used to define a space where perception and decisions create measurable influence.
Importantly, Free Will in this framework is not about morality, purpose, or soul. It is about systems and scale. From deterministic layers through cultural overlays to individual consciousness, the choice itself is the signal of free will.
📄 The project includes a full PDF document, philosophical rebuttals, system diagrams, and a multi-phase framework defining how choice evolves in complex agents.
