THE ALGORITHMIC NECESSITY OF AGENCY: A Unified Framework for Reconciling Quantum Superdeterminism with Evolutionary Neurobiology
Abstract
This treatise presents a comprehensive theoretical synthesis resolving the dialectic between the subjective experience of free will and the objective reality of a superdeterministic universe. By integrating the foundational principles of quantum mechanics—specifically the violation of statistical independence in Bell’s Theorem—with the functional neuroanatomy of the left-hemisphere interpreter, we propose that the “illusion of choice” is not a metaphysical error, but a mandatory biological heuristic. We demonstrate that the human brain, constrained by strict thermodynamic limits, utilizes the concept of agency as a lossless data-compression algorithm to process the infinite causal variables of a deterministic environment. Through the application of evolutionary game theory and the analysis of the “Superdeterministic Prisoner’s Dilemma,” we prove that cooperative strategies and the perception of autonomy are mathematically inevitable outputs of a fixed physical trajectory.
