Free Will as a Law of the Statistical Manifold

Key Points

• The research aims to establish free will as a fundamental law within the framework of statistical geometry.
• Proves capacity to act against engagement gradient using statistical manifold principles.
• Analyses two-point and three-point channel geometry effects on voluntary action capacity.
• Identifies channel geometry as a critical variable in the historical debate on free will.
• Two-point channel geometry suppresses voluntary action capacity due to explaining-away penalty.
• Three-point channel geometry uniquely eliminates this suppression.
• Čencov's uniqueness theorem confirms the independence of the substrate giving rise to free will.
