Don't PhD students get abused enough as it is?

>Which evidence?
That provided by the whole human experience.
>You have failed repeatedly to explain why the idea of free will can only exist if we have free will.
Is it not evident to you that 'the Sun can only exist only if the Sun exists'?
>Inherent in each actual entity is its respective dimension of time. Potentially, each Whiteheadean occasion of experience is causally consequential on every other occasion of experience that precedes it in time, and has as its causal consequences every other occasion of experience that follows it in time; thus it has been said that Whitehead's occasions of experience are 'all window', in contrast to Leibniz's 'windowless' monads. In time defined relative to it, each occasion of experience is causally influenced by prior occasions of experiences, and causally influences future occasions of experience. An occasion of experience consists of a process of prehending other occasions of experience, reacting to them. This is the process in process philosophy.

>Such process is never deterministic. Consequently, free will is essential and inherent to the universe

>How?
Cocreating future potentials for newness by prehending the completed experiences that constitute the past.
>Indeterminism isn't self-determination.
Cool. Self-determinism is evidenced in even unicellular organisms. They are not self-indetermining, and chance has nothing to do with Creativity~
>External and internal only have relevance in the context of causality.
They only have relevance in context of the self which is determining~
>An external lottery is as undetermined by you as a lottery in your head
Actual entities are self-determining, not other-determining~
>Just like magic.
Your ignorance is blinding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reification_(fallacy)#Fallacy_of_misplaced_concreteness
