I think in the end we will find out that both interpretations of whether free will exists might be correct, but with determinism being more fundamental. Think about a deterministic machine learning algorithm with a fixed input of training data. The agent/algorithm learns by reacting to it's data input/environment, has goals in the form of a cost function it is actively trying to minimize, has options to adjust its neural weights depending on what it experiences, yet we know the system including the environment is predetermined from the moment we kick off the program. -Khatchig, from "Digital Physics" (the movie).
