1) YES OR NO - do we agree that 100% deterministic events makes "free-will" impossible ?
Yes. We only have an illusion of free will, an at best, even the illusion of limited free will, is limited our abilities to pull a plane plummeting to Earth in a downward spiral i.e. somethings are beyond the possible. We can not violate inviolate cosmic principles or physical laws.
Some of the problem is people confusing less complex consciousness with that of more complex consciousness.
1} least complex nervous system..." Instead of a brain, hydra have the most basic nervous system in nature, a
nerve net in which neurons spread throughout its body. Even so,
researchers still know almost nothing about how the hydra’s few thousand
neurons interact to create behaviour...
...For example, a circuit that seems to be involved in digestion in the hydra’s stomach-like cavity became active whenever the animal opened its
mouth to feed. This circuit may be an ancestor of our gut nervous
system, the pair suggest.
2} most complex nervous system....woman with man coming in 2nd. They both have a consciousness, that, allows for access to Meta-space mind/intellect/concepts and ego. Their complexity leads to hydrogen bombs, rocket ships to moon an spacecraft beyond/Meta our solar system.
3} animals with no nervous system...." Corals are complex, many-celled organisms. Sponges are very simple creatures with no tissues. Are they aware? Can we only assigned less complex consciousness to nervous system? I think that is to limiting.
4} mininimal consciousness.....twoness ergo otherness is minimal set for consciousness. Ex two particles of matter have mass-attraction/Gravity ---inward process--- to each other. Enough of these particles eventually collect to become a star and then an outward process begins as electro-magnetic radiation { photons } and other kinds of particles.
5} Inward and outward consciousness...Sea sponges are one of the world's simplest multi-cellular living organisms.
Yes, sea sponges are considered animals not plants. But they grow,
reproduce and survive much as plants do. They have no central nervous
system, digestive system or circulatory system – and no organs!
......These pores allow water to flow in and out of the sponge. In this way,
the sponge gathers the food and oxygen it needs to thrive, and releases
waste.
Universe is consciousness, however, unlike humans, ---with their access to abstractions of Meta-space mind/intellect/concepts and ego--- who seek purpose for their existence, Universe seeks no purpose for its existence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following is humans seeking purpose for Universe and our existence.
Fred wrote the book ' The intelligent Universe ' an other books.
...“It isn't the Universe that's following our logic, it's we that
are constructed in accordance with the logic of the Universe. And that
gives what I might call a definition of intelligent life: something that
reflects the basic structure of the Universe.”
..." The fine-structure constant, ---FSC--- by contrast, has no dimensions or units.
It’s a pure number that shapes the universe to an astonishing degree — “a magic number that comes to us with no understanding,” as Richard
Feynman described it. Paul Dirac considered the origin of the number
“the most fundamental unsolved problem of physics........
....The team measured the constant’s value to the 11th decimal place, reporting that α = 1/137.035999206. "....
1/137.035999206 = 0.00 72 97 35 25 62 78 71 35 75157612442534
Pi^ 3.0003 =......... 31.00 73 41 51 29 30 84 7 20 16 21 37 57 14 128
My explorations led to above the close values, at least on the irrational side of abstract Pi^3 { XYZ }. If we round off the FSC, we have 0.0073. And if we round off the irrational side of Pi^3 we have 31.00 73. If look at the differrence between those two values we see how much differrence there is.
So no order or pattern in abstract Pi, however Pi does have rational side to it. Prime number 3.
In my exploration of Pi^3 { XYZ } we have rational resultant prime number 31. So now we have entered into the seemingly randomness of Pi and of semi-random prime numbers.
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97
Our illusion of free will is limited by the above Pi, Pi^3, and prime number occurrence. I.e. we cannot change those abstract resultant values, nor can we make them orderly instead of random. So the next question is, does this abstract randomness = an abstraction of free will? What does that abstraction of free will even mean?
