I agree. Compatibly is entirely plausible. One thing I believe is relevant to free will is the idea of creativity. Very few choices are simple forks in the road or ordering from a menu. And even those are not so simple. You can choose neither path and go off-roading. You can flirt with the server instead of ordering. The capacity to invent new choices and create opportunities is part of what makes us human, the infinity within us.
