I have spent lot of years mainly figuring out what myself and this reality is all about.

we can only imagine "possible effects"
Repitition of your point without proving it, especially if you just repeat it to act against an argument is a fallacy.

computer programs are definitely "goal seeking"

and computer programs certainly "make a choice"

Do they make a choice the same way we do?

Nope!

what is essentially a "roll-of-the-dice"

does not qualify

as an "intentional act of will"

My conscious choice is not a "roll-of-the-dice"

what in god's name is the difference between "freely choose"

and

"choose"

I am talking about the different senses of free. Not the word choose.

And if there is no difference between "choose" and "choose freely" then why are you saying we dont choose freely when we choose?!?!?!?!?!??!

"internal causes" are fully comprised of biology + experience ("external causes")
Your biology and experiances are not external causes.

Nor are they comprised of them in ipso.

you have failed to make a compelling case for any alternative

"possible effects" cannot be observed empirically - they are not concrete

"possible effects" are by definition NOT "logically-necessary"

THEREFORE

"possible effects" can only "exist" in your imagination

In ipso, it is not. This means by itself it is not restrained by the brain.

It is restrained by the brain as far as what we call its "ad objectivo" meaning its object, what the brain produces, it uses.

As regards what it does it adds to the brain. What we call understanding.

Why can they not be understood, as in something you reasoned to?

In fact, If do not understand that they are options, you do not understand that they are possible, then you do not know there are options. That is absurd.

The computers random function has not consciousness. It acts randomly.

Not like us. We have consciousness of our descision.

Yes, your biology is an internal cause.

Internal cause has to talk about those causes that deal with the thing itself in its existance.

It has nothing to do with creating itself, but rather maintaining itself.

saying that i understand something exists in my imagination

is not the same as saying i understand the future

computers do not "act randomly"

they may be "unpredictable" at times

but that's not the same as "random"

Four primary kinds of Spirit { 1../...2....3....4 }

1} Meta-space ergo absolute truths ergo cosmic physical laws, and cosmic principles ex principle of life/biology

Meta-space mind/intellect can present --via occupied space soul/biologic brain/nervous system---   a concept, that, cannot logically be presented mathematically.

Ex no mind/intellect can ever present a mathematical set of more than five and only five regular/symmetrical and convex polyhedra.  There are mathematical --includes geometry--- limits to what can exist as an occupied space of our eternally existent, finite occupied space Universe.  This is an absolute truth.  No amount of mind/intellect can violate this absolute truth or the finite set of inviolate absolute truths.

2} Soul and biology are synonyms ---soul/biology--   in my book of wholisitc comprehension of finite occupied space and macro infinite, truly non-occupied space existence........................space@space....... wherein @ is 2dnay symbolism for finite, occupied space Universe. 

3} There exist no true chaotic randomness of  our finite, occupied space Universe i.e. all is cause > effect > resultant. There exist ultra-micro high number of ultra-micro events and their ultra-high number of lines-of-relationship that we can never access too. Ex meta-physical  Spirit-3 Gravity andSpirit-4  Dark Energy  because the phenomena are not quantize-able by any biologic/soul of finite, occupied space Universe.

4} Physical reality is where soul/biology reside --aka observed { quantized } time--- and is associated with relative truths and as complemented by Meta-space sine-wave ^v^v  patterns of existence and the inviolate absolute truths

.....there exist inside- finite Universe, volumetric spaces,

......outside Universe, macro-infinte ergo non-volumetric spaces,

.......and there exist only three cosmic directions, in----around...out,

.......with a volumetric sphere O we have no hole of occupied space,

...with a volumetric torus (  ) (  ) we have a minimum,  a single hole of only a seemingly non-occupied space.

None have ever offered any logical common sense critical thinking that invalidates most of my above givens, as presented elsewhere as my Cosmic Trinary Set/Outline, and I believe none ever will.  At best others will be assimilated and at worst........resistance is futile.....as presented in science fiction of Star Treks Borg biologic/soul creatures.

I am suggesting the intellect and will are a spirit.

and when I say spirit, I mean a non-physical entity that acts as the principle of the life particuler to humans.

I am not saying we understand the future.

I am saying we understand possibilities about the future. 

That is something different.

you are using the term "free" in conjunction with the word "choice"

why are you doing this ?

First off, because you asked me what I meant by "free" in post number 221

Secondly, because there are different senses to the word "free" that can change the meaning of what I am saying.

I am being very specific in my use of "free"

There must be something that is maintaining its being in order to interact with outside causes to maintain its acting upon external things.

You have to be before you can be doing something.

Internal causes maintain being, in order to maintain the things actions on external causes.

and you support this hypothesis

with an "appeal to ignorance"

basically

"we don't know exactly what it is and exactly how it functions, therefore SPIRIT"

your existence is caused by "external forces"

your biology is caused by "external forces"

your experience is of "external forces"

you are wholly comprised of "external forces"

sure

at some point you can rename those "external forces" to "internal forces"

but every component is part of a continuous chain of cause-and-effect

that started before you were born and will continue after you die

"we don't know exactly what it is and exactly how it functions, therefore SPIRIT"

Care to site where this "appeal to ignorance" is?

Because I certainly never said "We dont know exactly what it is and exactly how it works, therefore spirit"

Do you like throwing words in peoples mouths?
