The Illusion of Agency: Why Free Will Does Not Exist

This paper provides a comprehensive deconstruction of the concept of free will from the perspectives of physical determinism, neuroscience, and modal logic. By analyzing the causal structures of the material brain and the biological lottery of birth, it argues that human agency is a post-hoc narrative construction rather than an independent force. The conclusion asserts that while the sensation of choice is a persistent feature of human experience, it lacks a coherent causal foundation in a deterministic reality.
