gollark: This is mostly irrelevant to "free will", though. Even if our brains use nondeterministic quantum processes internally, I don't see "deterministic process with RNG glued on in places" as more choice-y than something just deterministic.
gollark: I know the theory gives you probability distributions over things and not some sort of deterministic function from state at t to state at t=1, but it clearly isn't complete so there could be other things going on.
gollark: It seems wrong to say that QM disproves determinism when we know that it isn't actually a complete description of physics, though.
gollark: I guess *on average*.
gollark: That's probably not true.
