Free Will: the term Free Will (Stoicism: “liberum arbitrium”) arose in response

Free Will: the term Free Will (Stoicism: “liberum arbitrium”) arose in response to the question as to whether individuals could be held responsible for making moral vs immoral decisions. It is not a religious concept but a greek one, and was incorporated by theologians in the second century.
Determinism: The contemporary question cast as ‘free will’ is one of hard, or soft determinism.
– Hard determinism must be false because even at first stages of causality the quantum background is indeterminate; and at the other end of spectrum of causal density, human autoassociative prediction (memory) is relatively non-deterministic outside of the very simple, which we can test easily. And human responses vary moment by moment given the internal biological market competition for demands for our attention and energy. We are extremely conscious of this fact in behavioral and micro economics: human behavior may be categorically similar in response to similar stimuli but isn’t individually predictable (consistent) regardless of that stimuli even at some of the extremes. As such we can explain human behavior once possessed of enough evidence (why juries function) but we cannot predict individual action.
– Soft determinism must be true because humans are marginally indifferent outside the limits of cognitive, intuitionistic, and physical variation. In other words, all humans operate with similar physical, intuitionistic, and cognitive tools, varying by age, cognitive ability, accumulated knowledge and skill. Again this is why behavior is explainable but not predictable.

Result: So the universe is deterministic in proportion to the accumulated information (oganization, or ‘memory’) available to any entity.
It is deterministic and determinable at the small scales and simple interactions once we compensate for temperature and density.
Its deterministic but indeterminable at scales where sufficient predictive memory exists in sufficiently complex density of opportunities to use mind, intiution, body, knowledge and resources.

Error in prediction alone accounts for indeterminacy.
