Mar 10, 2016 · Whether such a mechanism exists in the brain is currently unknown, but many free will libertarians (Compton, Popper, Eccles, Kane), and even some compatibilists (Dennett, Mele), believe that it does, see Two-Stage Models for Free Will.
we can turn quantum uncertainty into certainty, then find a predictable pattern for human behavior. Robert Kane did well at presenting his paper, however, conceptually, he made a
Oct 1, 2020 · In the last few decades, the relevance of quantum mechanics to the free-will debate has been discussed at length, especially in relation to the prospects of libertarianism (the view according...
quantum indeterminacy in a free-will model. Most all other thinkers can see no way that quantum events can make a coherent and intelligible contribution to human freedom. Kane continues to look for ways that quantum randomness contributes. Today he does not look to individual quantum events affecting individual

rather than probabilities that makes quantum mechanics the extraordinary thing that it is, and to grasp that the theory’s mathematical structure follows almost inevitably from the concept of a probability amplitude. We have also tried to explain how classical mechanics emerges from quantum mechanics.

Ch. 1: The free will problem. In Kane’s terms on pp. 5-6, determinism involves prior “sufficient conditions” for what we do. Possible prior conditions include predestination, the decrees of fate, or the past plus the laws of nature (as in scientific or causal determinism, which is our focus).
