A halting oracle doesn’t seem to contain magic “free will” stuff
I know, although that’s really what libertarian FW entails in physicalist terms. In fact, funnily enough, I read yesterday Turing’s paper Computer Machinery and Intelligence (mostly just to be amused at his theological and ESP counter-arguments) and he literally said that some people describe machines with randomness oracles as having ‘free will’.
Regardless, a major point of Penrose’s theory is that the mind works as a cohesive whole thanks to a quantum superposition of the brain, it’s a much more remarkable feature than just having any form of LFW. I don’t even get the appealing of LFW anymore.
I know all of that, believe me.
