Wouldn't it either be deterministic or indeterministic? Thus it's just adding 1 layer of complexity to the same problem and answering nothing.
I used to challenge people to explain using ANY means how a soul could have free will, and what that system would look like. The only stipulation is it had to be logically complete. They could refer to particles and systems which aren't known to exist, but they couldn't just say "it happens." Nobody could ever do it.
Philosophers the world over never seemed to appreciate this problem. Then I encountered CTMU by Christopher Langan and I think it's the best reconciliation. I'm not sure it's perfect, honestly I haven't given it the time it deserves, but it's definitely a step beyond everyone else.
