Humans are free in the sense that they have a conscious choice to alter the energy-flow within the infinite set of possibility, which is given by the necessary & sufficient conditions for existence (mathematical truths, physical laws, etc.). The Will is always given...we do not create it, we only have a hand in altering the flow of possibility.
We inhabit the realm of extension. We, as a physiological system, are a process imposing structure on the information-flux. As consciously extended becomings, we are extensions of reality into the realm of possibility (space), the existence of which is interdependent with time (temporal). As extensions we alter reality by altering the flow of change within the infinite set. Thus, we, as independent convergences of the Will (limited set) in the realm of possibility (space-time), affect the flow of the infinite set via choice. The choice is given in space-time via information-flow. Genetic mutations carry information, and become the basis upon which new information is received and assimilated into the subject.
>>>Come upon a place in the psyche where all physical laws collapse on themselves.
The intellect can no longer isolate acute elements and categorize them into a navigable representation of the world...
We cannot make predictions about future states based upon the causal relations observed in the past, and on present conditions...ie, physics and math go out the window.
If there are no elements to rearrange, there is no experience.
As long as experience is the ability to manipulate energy, the necessity to re-arrange the elements of possibility, experience is characterized by lack. A lack of one configuration leads to a new configuration, and so on. The Absolute is used as a directing arrow, a towards, against which the presented choices are compared in order to orient the chooser towards a goal.
There is nothing in history but an infinite regress of causality; the elements of possibility must always be re-arranged...no Absolute exists outside of our conceptions of it.
