If we accept that particle is information then it must have a location otherwise the interaction with it is impossible. Regardless, the indeterminacy is not related to the idea of free will.
Free will is related to the idea of determinism. Determinism true - no free will. Determinism false - free will is right.bahman wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 3:47 pmIf we accept that particle is information then it must have a location otherwise the interaction with it is impossible.

You are failing to distinguish between ontology and epistemology. And you are also failing to distinguish between non-determinism and randomness.-1- wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2020 2:35 pm Free will is related to the idea of determinism. Determinism true - no free will.

Why do you say that indeterminancy is unrelated to the mechanisms that direct the possibility or the impossibility of free will? The entire existence of free will depends on whether the world is deteministic or not.
I really don't see how you can say "non-determinism does not affect the notion of free will". Bah! The entire argument you built was on the premise of determinance... once determinance is debunked, you dismiss your own proof by saying that the determinance and your conclusion are not related. This renders your argument invalid, because your argument is based on the premis of determination; once it is shown that determism is false you dismiss its importance, its validty; and yet your argument still is built on the premis. If you dismiss this premis, you render your argument false, and your conclusion false.

Because indeterminacy has nothing to do with non-determinism, give their definitions, I already provided the definitions.
What do you mean with the world? Does world contain too?
Non-determinism is related to free will. A system that is non-deterministic is free.

Epistemically you can't determine whether the ontology (reality) is deterministic or non-deterministic, so the entire issue about free will is incoherent nonsense.
Non-determinism is the foundation of the Philosophical Language games, but it's utterly irrelevant and inconsequential.
The study of non-determinism is Computer Science. It's perfectly sensible to speak about non-deterministic things while rejecting OR accepting free will.

The ontological determinism or non-determinism of reality is epistemically non-determinable because superdeterminism is currently untestable/unfalsifiable.
Which part of "leave me alone, you shit-for-brains ****" don't you understand?
Your premise is correct. Your "logic" behind it is faulty. Start with item 1, from which other stuff follows.bahman wrote: ↑Sun Dec 09, 2018 6:46 am Here is the argument:
1) Causation requires knowledge
2) Knowledge is structured
3) Therefore any caused thing is structured
4) Anything which is structured cannot be free
5) Therefore one cannot cause a thing which is free
The first premise is correct since causation always aim to an end.
The second premise is correct too because knowledge is about the relation between concepts.
Three is the result of one and two.
Four is correct too since the behavior of anything which is structured is a function of behavior of parts.
Five follows from three and four.
Change causation by creation and let me know if the argument makes sense.Greylorn Ell wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 6:22 amYour premise is correct. Your "logic" behind it is faulty. Start with item 1, from which other stuff follows.bahman wrote: ↑Sun Dec 09, 2018 6:46 am Here is the argument:

Causation does not require knowledge. Do you really believe that our sun's gravitational field, which causes our planet to orbit it once yearly, is something that the sun knows about?
