Stephen Wolfram - 2021 - Do Humans Have Free Will

Free will seems so obvious. Whatever I want to do, I just do. But could ‘I’ be fooled? Some say that free will is an illusion, and they back up their claim with scientific experiments. Others say that free will is a mystery. Still others alter the definition of free will to be ‘compatible’ with a deterministic world.

*** EXCERPTED FROM Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of Science" ***
The Phenomenon of Free Will

Ever since antiquity it has been a great mystery how the universe can
follow definite laws while we as humans still often manage to make
decisions about how to act in ways that seem quite free of obvious laws.
But from the discoveries in this book it finally now seems
possible to give an explanation for this. And the key, I believe, is the
phenomenon of computational irreducibility.
For what this phenomenon implies is that even though a system
may follow definite underlying laws its overall behavior can still have
aspects that fundamentally cannot be described by reasonable laws.
