From Electromagnetic Fields to Free Will: A Unified Perspective on Physics, Life, and Consciousness
PhilPapers (PhilPapers Foundation) February 14, 2026 Angelito Enriquez Malicse
This paper presents a unified perspective on the emergence of free will from fundamental physical laws. Starting from Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism, we trace the progression from energy fields to photons, matter, atomic stability, life, and complex neural systems. Consciousness is interpreted as the internal observation of a self-organizing, dynamically stable system. Free will arises...
