Take the /x/ pill OP, it's the only way.

>The universe is deterministic
Yes it is determined by free-will.

>Why can't we solve consciousness?
Can't explain the projector with the projections.

You left out the schizo option - Intentional.

It is everywhere.
>What exactly is it?
It is the thing in you that is aware of something

If by scientific you mean reproducible, plenty of resources on >>>/x/.
If by scientific you mean explainable through current materialistic models, that won't be possible. There is a reason the slogan "there is no consciousness/free-will" is so prevalent with the autists here.

He's got the fundamentals but he's still trying to jam materialism models into the equation. Physicalism and Idealism are not compatible, period. One side declares the observable reality is made up of independently divisible things interacting with each other while the other side states reality is a single indivisible whole displaying different modalities, every infinitesimal moment a cosmic video frame so to speak. One side believes there are eternal external natural laws while the otherside believe all limitations are temporary illusions.
There is simply no reconciling between the two.

There is none.
Free will by it's very definition stands above physicality.
The only explanation is a schizo tier one from /x/, which states free will is the creational source of the observable reality, and is not something created out the observable reality.
