I must be quite confused then, but how is free will not linked to determinism?
1. Non-determinism is equivalent to determinism plus extra, random input.
2. The addition of random noise does not bestow free will upon something that didn't have it without the random noise.
3. 1 and 2 imply no non-determinstic systems can possess free will if deterministic systems cannot possess free will.
4. 3 implies free will is independent of determinism.
