Nope. As word salad, yeah, of course...but otherwise nope. 
If I hit the brakes at 60 and let loose at 5, I'm not going in reverse, that's not what relativity means..hehehehe but it would be awesome if it did, so I say run with it.
Trouble with the analogy is that entropy is never "missing", might be better expressed as a situation in which there is -less determinism- in one place, relative to another, not none (not that I would actually agree that this is the case, just trying to help). Will remains chained, though, even if this were so....so that's alot of "what ifs" to end up with no appreciable change. I'd lay all of that aside though, if you could describe the manner in which a brain achieves that, or could even possibly achieve it - and be willing to call that "as free a will as can be".

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
