My point exactly. If physics does not result in consciousness in stones, then “physics” is not an explanation of consciousness in humans.
Generic physics doesn’t even even account for toasters. You need to plug in structure.
And neither is “quantum physics” an explanation of free will in humans (as long as we use any definition of “free will” which does not also apply to stones).
An explanation all in itself. or a potential part of an explanation , including other things, such as structure.
My guess is that “free will” belongs to the realm of psychology. We can talk about when we mean when we feel that other people (or animals, or hypothetical machines) have “free will”, and what we mean when we feel that we have “free will”. That’s all there is about “free will”. Start with the experiences that caused us to create the expression “free will” in the first place, and follow the chain of causality backwards (what in the world caused us to have these experiences? how exactly does that work?). Don’t have a bottom line of “X, in principle” first
Tracing the feeling back might result in a mechanism that produces a false impression of freedom, or a mechanism
that results in freedom. What you are suggesting leaves the question open.
I see no need to posit that this unpredictability exists “in principle”, in the territory.
Who do yo think is doing that? The claim is hypothetical..that if indeterminism exists in the territory, then it could provide the basis for non-illusory FW. And if we investigate that, we can resolve the question you left open above.
