> free will exists somewhere/in a form we cannot directly observe

John Conway has a rather neat explanation of this in the Strong Free Will Theorem.

Being neat doesn't necessarily mean it's correct, but it's compatible with what we know about physical reality, and solves some otherwise rather tough and paradoxical facts about experienced reality, so I'm a fan.
