no, i think the incompleteness theorem means there’s going to be gaps in anyones self-awareness...and if a decision manages to spring from one of these, it may feel like an arbitrary choice.
That this is able to be seen as “free will” carries on because people DON’T generally understand the halting problem all that well-and so they do not feel like they could possibly be deterministic.
Those who do understand the halting problem...frequently also know a thing or two about quantum mechanics, just enough that they can salvage their belief in free will.

I notice that i am still horribly confused, (as manifested by a hundred “missing piece” explanations popping up)...but I also notice I now have a headache.
