You want to make me cringe? remind me that I got into an email conversation on my theory on this topic with an internet stranger and it turned out that person's name was daniel dennett, who I would assume assumed that I knew who he was and that I was an internet fan boy.

I'm not a philosopher, I didn't even know who daniel dennet was, so while certain that my view was covered somewhere long before I was born, I wouldn't know which century, but would guess all of them.

I am the deterministic set of operations and coefficients that calculates my choice. My will is not caged by a deterministic universe, the deterministic universe is the the constraint ensures my choice is the true reflection of who I am, the true has of the private key of my character. A quantum magic spinny wheel doesn't liberate me, it would undermine the integrity of my choice.

This is hilarious. I had a nice email back and forth with Daniel Dennett about 15 years ago, but I knew who he was and initiated contact on purpose to talk about something he was an expert on. Good to see he is still approachable.

So you are able to determine the infinite universe, or is this a belief-model?

Yes, but I’ll need more compute

Or an infinite paper tape
