A Systems-Based Solution to the Problem of Free Will Using Universal Laws

Abstract The problem of free will has persisted for millennia, remaining unresolved due to its intersection with philosophy, neuroscience, physics, and social systems. Previous attempts have failed because they treat free will as either a purely philosophical or purely physical problem, ignoring its systemic nature. This paper proposes a systems-based approach grounded in four universal laws: the Law of Karma / System Integrity, the Universal Law of Balance in Nature, the Universal Feedback Loop Mechanism, and the Universal Interconnected Nodes. By modeling decision-making as a system governed by these laws, free will is shown to emerge naturally within deterministic constraints, offering a comprehensive resolution to the classical philosophical paradox.
