Free will Vs math
We begin with a myriad of ever-changing inputs from the senses, and from that as interpreted signals in the brain.
Q. mathematically, is it possible to take that mass of continually changing information, and translate it exactly onto the macroscopic scale?
-
It would be very difficult to even arrive at freeze-frame of all input, so as to deduct an exact set of informations.
-
There is no single source to that set it comes from all the senses, at different times and locations, the information doesn’t arrive at once.
-
When the brain samples and calibrates the different sensory inputs, it is mapping an already imperfect set of informations onto an ‘image’ representative of the given sets.
-
This primary image - let us say, of each sensory field of information is then sampled, calibrated and further combined onto a tertiary image of the combined sensory map.
-
This merged secondary image [prior to the perceived world we experience] is kept partially separated, such that we can perceive the different field individually, hence is never a complete image.
-
The final tertiary image is our perceived world; some of us would say that this is purely composed of quale [vision, sound, feel, emotion, language, thought, awareness] mapped against the aforementioned third image. Some would say the perception is the final physical layer.
Either way we have a multilayered scenario rather than a direct deterministic link from environmental input, to perceived world.
