I read the summary and the excerpts of the pdf, but didn't notice the answer to how free will works.

If a set of neurons fire because they're in a situation, and I lift my finger, at what point has free will created the energy to make that happen?

Said another way, if Free Will it didn't create energy, the physics of the system would have kept it proceeding in the non-finger-lifting path, but free will changed that.

That sounds like an infinite energy source, which would be admittedly neat.

Thanks for the link to the site and the pdf contained therein.
