Default Re: My Basic Thought On Free Will

Please correct my thinking here but I could of sworn I read a post in SMP that staed something like this:

Because we dont have a theory of everything yet it could be possible that the one that does..
Would be based on probability on a quantum level ( I feel that I am already butchering this explanation but bare with me) so within a internal mental system, a decision could be based on a probability of a reaction between some quatom bodies. SO an answer could be yes or no based on the probability of the outcome. This would mean that you have freewill because a decision could go either way if it were to happen under the exact same circumstances (this is a hypothetical held outside the universe or dimension or whatever) So the freewill is based on the fact that it canot be known what a decision is going to be even though it is already within a set parameter.

I botched this but hopefully somebody can salvage this and explain why this is wrong.
