Lets come at it from another angle, again for you both.
Would it be fair to say that neither of you object to casually determistic this and thats as "free will". As in, if the process were causally deterministic..you're both still comfortable calling it free-in-context?
Would it be fair to say that the local ownership of reasons, parameters, or decision-making criteria and condition are sufficient to consider it your "free" wills, regardless of where or what those things are..and just as above, whether or not they are products - themselves- of causally deterministic this and thats?
