Quantum Binding Argument (QBA) Corollaries. ( How Quantum Non-Locality Falsifies Determinism, Compatibilism, and the Randomness Objection to free will )

The classical debate on free will presents a seemingly exhaustive triage: determinism, compatibilism, or randomness. This paper argues that this framework is not merely incomplete but fundamentally obsolete, its categories rendered incoherent by the physical requirements of conscious binding. Building upon the Quantum Binding Argument (QBA)—which deduces that gamma synchrony and thus conscious unity require quantum non-locality—we formalize three corollaries that systematically dismantle the traditional landscape. First, we demonstrate that determinism is falsified by its ontological commitment to local causality, which is violated by the non-locality essential for consciousness. Second, we show that compatibilism, as a thesis defined by its compatibility with determinism, logically collapses with determinism’s falsification. Third, we prove that the “randomness objection”—the false dilemma that the only alternative to determinism is incoherent chance—commits a category error, conflating classical randomness with non-local quantum correlation. The conclusion is not a new answer within the old debate, but its termination. The question of volition must be reformulated entirely within a non-deterministic, non-local physics of mind.
