Hi everyone! I've been working on a book that delves deeply into the concept of free will, proposing a unique definition: "Free will is the ability to control the focus of attention." To support this, I've developed a comprehensive model of attention that explores how we allocate mental energy across internal and external fields. This model is key to articulating the nuance of my definition.

I believe this work can take the current discourse surrounding free will to a new level and dimension, advancing the discussion beyond the gridlock it's been stuck at for centuries.

I'm looking for feedback from those passionate about this subject. If you're interested in reading a pre-publication version and sharing your thoughts, please let me know in the replies!
