Why the Free Will Problem Remains Unsolvable — An Analysis Based on the Universal Law of Balance in Nature

Abstract The free will problem remains one of the most persistent philosophical dilemmas. Traditional approaches present a dichotomy between libertarian free will and determinism, which has proven inadequate in resolving the apparent paradox between freedom and causality. This paper proposes a novel framework grounded in the Universal Law of Balance in Nature and the concept of consciousness as an interacting feedback loop. It argues that free will is not absolute but a conditional, systemic phenomenon embedded within natural laws, resolving the paradox and explaining why the problem has remained unsolvable in conventional terms.
