An idea that's been tickling me lately is that 'randomness', as perceived by people inside a system, is actually an avenue by which free will from some hypothetical meta-system might assert itself.

The actions causally derived from randomness in our universe seem random because we inside the system have no Informational view in to the meta-system in which they have some kind of causal logic, but the decision makes sense when you have access to that higher-order logic in the meta-system. The random state of some set of particles in someone's brain that makes them choose one action over another, could be a connective tissue by which the meta-'soul' asserts its control.

It's useless for any kind of pragmatic ethical effort, and really it's just pushing the problem up one level, but it's fun to think about.

This is why the standard interpretation of QM to me implies that there is a higher-order universe, which seems a high price to pay (in Occam units) for an experimentally successful theory, even if it is so incredibly successful as QM.
