But it also isn't evidence of free will since it also appears to be action based on rational inputs out outputs. But like I said, in my view a universe with free will and without are essentially indistinguishable. Since we live in a perceived spacetime-linear world we can never know whether the alternate actions were actually possible and chosen against.
If I tell you to spin in circles and then stop and you did so, spinning three times before stopping, was spinning three times actually a choice? Could you have chosen to spin four times? There's no way to know, using the structures currently available to us. Could the physics of your brain have been saying "SPIN JUST TWICE" but something in your "animated spirit" said "AWAY SILLY PHYSICS, I'M SPINNING THREE TIMES!!!" Everybody will perceive the latter and most will also believe it to be the truth.
